2008 AFL-CIO Voting Rights Protection Program

• Apr 17, 2008 Posted by Joshua Jones

  The significance of voting rights and voter protection efforts cannot be overstated. Especially since 2000, the weaknesses in our election system have become obvious. Poor administration, limited resources, intimidation, manipulation and lack of voter education have become too common, particularly among communities with the greatest needs.

  Get Involved!!

  My Vote, My Right seeks to build a network of labor activists to get involved in voter protection activities. This network includes union attorneys, AFL-CIO staff, state and local coordinators and voter protection volunteers.

  My Vote, My Right is looking for people to fill leadership rolls, educate voters and volunteer to work in and at the polls on Election Day. To get involved, send your name, address, county, e-mail address and phone number to yourvote@aflcio.org or
