All of these Mid-Valley locals have contracts expiring in 2026. Some creative ways to support them: make a sign to place in your car window when parked during the school day,  pick one local a week to contact & ask if they need any help, if one of these is your local then reach out to your union siblings to share updates by coming to MVUC meetings and/or making contact via phone or email. If you have other creative ideas to share, please do! We're all in this together   ✊
