#NYCLaborVotes Weekly Digest 5/18

We are only 5 weeks away from the June 22 Primary Election in New York City and our member-to-member voter outreach is officially underway. With less than 25% of the electorate expected to turn-out in these critical city elections, we must ensure that union-members and their households turn-out in large numbers.  

Together, we can elect worker-friendly candidates and fight for a fair and just recovery for all working families.  Find out how to get involved below!

UPCOMING EVENTS

Saturday, May 22, 10AM: Join NYC Labor Votes as we continue our efforts to support labor-endorsed candidates for New York City.
