CWAers Get Out the Vote for Nov. 2

CWAers in Kentucky, including State Coordinator Nick Hawkins and District 3 Staff Rep. Isa Shabazz, joined a rally for U.S. Senate candidate Jack Conway. Former President Bill Clinton was on hand supporting Conway's campaign.

With less than three weeks until the Nov. 2 elections, CWAers in every district are walking neighborhoods, phoning co-workers and working to get out the vote to support candidates who support working people.

As of mid-October, more than 600 worksites had been leafleted at least twice and 1,600 events, including phone banks, voter registration drives and neighborhood walks were underway, with more to come in the closing days of Election 2010. Locals have ordered and distributed more than 300,000 flyers from the Working Families toolkit.

In Ohio, CWAers jammed a rally supporting Ohio Senate candidate and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and Kentucky CWA members turned out to support Senate candidate Jack Conway.

CWA’s COPE contest continues to go strong. In September alone, nearly 1,000 new members signed up for COPE, and over the past six months, 2,682 CWAers joined or increased their COPE contributions.

All members who increase their contributions by at least $1 a week or sign up as new COPE contributors are eligible for drawings that will pick winners of a trip for two to Las Vegas, including airfare and two nights’ hotel accommodation. All new or increased contributors also get the cool COPE T-shirt.
