Let’s show up on Election Day!
Our democracy needs us. Let’s make sure every voice counts!
Familia LCLAA,
Election Day is around the corner, and this is a crucial moment for our democracy, our communities, and working families nationwide. Every voice matters, every vote counts, and each of us has a role in protecting our democratic rights.
We call on our members, union siblings, friends, and allies to take action and participate! Make a plan to vote, encourage your family, coworkers, neighbors, and friends to do the same, and support efforts to ensure that every eligible voter has the information and resources they need to participate.
Let’s reach those who need our support the most and make sure no one is left behind.
Our commitment doesn’t end when the polls close. We must remain informed and vigilant throughout Election Day and the vote-counting process, support election workers, rely on verified information, and help ensure that every eligible vote is counted fairly and accurately.
Democracy requires more than our vote. It requires our participation, solidarity, and commitment to one another. From our workplaces to our neighborhoods, let’s continue building a culture of civic engagement and defending the rights that generations before us fought so hard to secure.
This November 3rd, let’s show up for our families, our communities, and our future.
Let’s take action: Nuestra Voz. Nuestro Voto. ¡Nuestro Poder!
En solidaridad,
Evelyn De Jesus
National President
