New York: Summer sees opt-out tidal wave

New York: Summer sees opt-out tidal wave

Don’t look now, but New York’s government unions are confronting a jailbreak of record proportions.

By mid-August, the Freedom Foundation facilitated more union membership cancellations in the Empire State than in any previous quarter, and the numbers weren’t even close. For the period, the organization helped a mind-blowing 451 public employees leave their union — 20 percent of the state’s total since the Freedom Foundation began operations there last year.

Even more impressively, the total was a 325 percent improvement over the same period just a year ago.

We’re not just making waves; we’re making tsunamis.

What prompted the frenzy? It’s all about unleashing the power of Freedom Foundation’s outreach machine. A torrent of unique and electrifying mail campaigns found their way into the hands of countless union members throughout the state. The impact was nothing short of extraordinary.

Coupled with this awe-inspiring display, a barrage of hundreds of thousands of emails rained down upon eager recipients, giving union-represented public employees much-needed information about how they can save money and cease supporting corrupt and politicized organizations by exercising their right to cancel their union membership.

The effect was seismic, forever changing the landscape of the Freedom Foundation’s educational outreach campaigns in the Big Apple and beyond.

But that’s not all. The coup de grace was the Freedom Foundation’s innovative ambassador program. By equipping freedom-minded public employees to spread the word to their co-workers as well, the number of contacts we make increases geometrically. But it’s not just about sheer numbers; it’s about forging deep connections and fostering camaraderie among the ranks of those seeking freedom from the shackles of the status quo.

And let’s not forget the very-much-intended side effect — Freedom Foundation is rapidly gaining brand recognition statewide. New York, you’ve hit the jackpot.

And we’re just getting started. The Freedom Foundation is already rolling out a new outreach campaign tailored specifically to the state’s educators. Whether big government unions like it or not, the revolution is coming, and there’s no stopping it.

As we forge ahead into the next chapter, relentless efforts will be made to fine-tune outreach strategies and find new allies. Building upon the remarkable success of the summers efforts, these determined liberators will stop at nothing to ensure the unstoppable momentum carries forward into the fall and beyond.

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to witness history in the making. New York’s revolution is turning heads, capturing hearts, and transforming the Big Government union monopoly as we know it.

The stage is set, the players are ready, and the future has never looked so bright.
