COPE empowers union members by:

  • Raising political funds

  • Endorsing candidates that support our issues

  • Supporting and contributing to endorsed candidates

  • Implementing get-out-the-vote programs

  • Educating public officials on our issues

  • Rallying support among officials for our issues
