- Vote-Cope
Campaign
Vote-cope helps strengthen political action programs on all levels - national, state & local. To specifically help on the local level, vote-cope provides rebates to all locals. Over the last two years over 4 million dollars has been rebated to locals for political activities.
This year's campaign includes a raffle for members contributing to vote-cope. Everyone received one ticket for every dollar they are currently contributing through payroll deduction. For every dollar you increase your payroll contribution, you received two extra tickets.
If you are currently donating $3 a pay and increase to $5 a pay, you received seven tickets for a chance to win a monetary prize of $100, $75, $50, or $25!
Contributions to VOTE/COPE are fueled entirely by members’ voluntary contributions. VOTE/COPE is NYSUT’s statewide political action fund. It supports grassroots lobbying on education, labor, and health-care issues. The fund also underwrites "get-out-the-vote" campaigns and supports bi-partisan, pro-education candidates. Widespread member support makes NYSUT's political action committee one of the most effective voices in politics today.
