During our May AZBTC meeting Marlene Galan Woods updated us on her campaign and how she is going continue fighting for working families once she is elected to Congress. We also met with Protect the Vote AZ to discuss how we can work together to protect mail-in voting.
Today’s the day! 🌅📬 Letter carriers across the country are heading out on their routes with one extra mission: collecting your donations for the #StampOutHunger Food Drive.
If you haven’t already, there’s still time to help! Just leave a bag of nonperishable food by your mailbox before your carrier arrives. Every can, every box, every bag helps stock local food pantries and put meals on the table for families facing hunger.
For more than 30 years, NALC members have proudly led this effort while continuing to serve their communities on their regular routes. Today, we’re grateful for every carrier stepping up and every neighbor lending a hand. Let’s make a difference together!
For 34 years and counting, #StampOutHunger has helped keep families fed across the country. This Saturday, @NALC_National members will be collecting nonperishable food donations right from your doorstep. Leave a bag out for your carrier & help make a difference in your community!
@SenRubenGallego stopped by @Boilermakers627’s apprenticeship and tried his hand at some of the work our members do everyday like tube rolling, arc gouging, plate welding and rigging
For over 30 years, letter carriers have proudly led the largest one-day food drive in America—and this year’s #StampOutHunger drive is just ONE WEEK away! On May 9, simply leave a bag of nonperishable food donations by your mailbox, and your letter carrier will take care of the rest. All donations stay right here in your community. Together, we can #StampOutHunger!

After over a decade of community input and litigation AZBTC is thrilled to learn that Resolution’s federal land exchange is now complete. AZBTC is now looking forward to working together with all groups to create thousands of good-paying union jobs in the Copper Triangle.
This land exchange isn’t just a milestone, it’s a commitment.
To protect what matters.
To support local and tribal communities.
To power a future with responsibly produced copper.
