The UFT's Political Action Department is active in a wide variety of political battles across the city in support of New York’s children and schools. Our Political Action Coordinators (PAC) are key players in this work.
PACs handle
- Day to day borough activities
- City Council and state legislation
- Volunteer work
- Phone banking
- Canvassing
- School Budgets: Participatory budgeting through City Council/ Capitol Funding
- Lobby Day
- District lobbying for State and City legislatures goes through the PAC
At all times, UFT members and staff must notify their PAC that a politician is coming to their school building.
PACs can help with
- Graduation
- Speakers for school events
- Turkeys and other donations
- Giveaways
- Support for school fairs
- COPE and Voter Registration
