Why Contribute to COPE?
We mostly support state assembly and senate candidates. Contributions of $200-$300 are significant in such races and give our local (or the Council) access to legislators to court their support for our needs.
How Much Does It Cost?
You can deduct a COPE contribution of as little as $.50 per paycheck. We recommend $1 (or more). For faculty, $1 means $21.50 or $22 per year, or $26 per year for librarians and professional staff.

How Is My Money Used?
