Voter Registration and Mobilization Key in 2013 Races

Although November may seem like a distant thought, it will be here before we know it. Not only is the Governor facing re-election, but the entire State Legislature is up for grabs. We must do everything we can to ensure that pro-education and pro-workers’ rights candidates are victorious.

AFTNJ is working to make sure that all AFT members are registered to vote and have the information they need to make informed decisions based upon candidates’ positions on the issues that most affect your jobs and communities. The goal of the AFL-CIO voter registration campaign is to have ALL AFL-CIO unions at 80% of members registered to vote. Thanks to you, AFTNJ is already ahead of the game. Most AFT locals have high rates of voter registration, but with all that’s at stake in November – we can’t rest on our laurels. As we’ve seen, every vote truly counts!

If you or anyone in your family is eligible, but not registered to vote – please use the above links to register today. It only takes a minute or two and could make the difference in a close race. Also, if you’d like to help with voter registration efforts at your workplace or in your local, please let your local union leadership know or contact Political Director Seth Anderson-Oberman  or 732-661-9393.

There is a path to victory for working families in New Jersey in 2013 and we must all work together to get there!
