AFSCME Rally in Union Grove Earns Attention from Candidates and the Press

“When you go out to vote take someone with you.”  That is the common sense advice offered by AFSCME Local 892 member Kory Small in the final days before midterm elections.  “Even an hour of your time spent volunteering to get out the vote can make a huge difference.”

With time running out, Small felt like more needed to be done to reach out to union voters.  She began calling other AFSCME Locals to see if she could coordinate a volunteer action.  Her hard work led to a rally and phone bank in Union Grove on Monday which drew over fifty participants.

“The fact that so many people are still undecided so close to Election Day is hard to believe, given how much is at stake,” laments Small.  “Working families are sick of political advertisements, but we can’t afford to let them tune out.  We can win this election, but we are going to have to reach out to union households personally in order to do it.”

Kris Barrett, wife of gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett, and endorsed State Senator John Lehman attended the Union Grove Rally to thank activists for their support and continued GOTV efforts.

The Racine Journal Times reported on Monday’s rally:

There isn’t a moment to lose, but you and your friends can still make a difference through Labor 2010 GOTV activities.  Click here to check the schedule or contact your local Service Area Organizer for details.
