Privatization
The Heat Is On
Several government heating plants provide heat through miles and miles of tunnels, that are under our feet right now, to nearly 100 buildings in the area.
The federal government wants corporations that are only looking to turn a profit – including those with a reputation of corruption and mismanagement – to take over those heating plants. This is reckless and could threaten your safety. Sign on to stop it!
Our high quality public services need to stay public
From the threat of airport privatization, to an expensive private Infrastructure Bank, to continued contracting out across federal government departments, our high quality public services are under threat. Join us as we work to restore and expand public services.
