Help Get Out the Vote

With less than 30 days until Election Day, Nov. 4, CWA and union activists are joining labor walks, staffing phone banks, rallying for pro-worker candidates and doing everything possible to help get out the vote for these very important elections.

Right: A CWA Local 6222 member makes calls on behalf of Texas Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis and candidate for lieutenant governor Leticia Van De Putte.

Below: In Wisconsin, 27 CWA and IUE-CWA activists from Locals 4603, 4611 and 84811 join the latest round of labor walks and phone banking. It was the largest turnout from any union.

From Arizona to Michigan to Virginia, CWAers have been working hard to spread the word about the importance of electing candidates who support working families. In Texas, CWAers are standing behind Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and Democrat Leticia Van de Putte, who is running for Lt. Governor. The lieutenant governor in Texas is particularly important because the office holder sets the agenda for the State Senate.

Wisconsin CWAers and labor activists are working hard to support Mary Burke who is challenging incumbent Republican Scott Walker. Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature attacked public worker bargaining rights and other workers' rights.
