- Raise the profile of the union in the community by entering a PSAC float in a parade, sponsoring a sports team, or having an information table at a local fair.
- Attend District Labour Council meetings and speak on behalf of the PSAC in your community to encourage support for our issues.
- Coordinate the circulation of petitions and postcards campaigns on demands such as pay equity, protection of pensions, and job security so members in your community are able to participate in national campaigns.
