With this first-of-its-kind campaign, the DNC continues to meet workers where they are to remind them of Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats\u2019 historically pro-union, pro-worker agenda and ensure they have the information they need to cast their ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Union members, their households, and retired union members <a href=\"https:\/\/aflcio.org\/press\/releases\/union-leaders-and-workers-highlight-plans-mobilize-millions-union-voters-harris-walz\">make up 20% of the electorate<\/a> in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada and are a critical bloc of the broad Democratic coalition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/publication\/who-are-todays-union-workers\/\">across demographic groups; while<\/a> public support for union members is at a near-record high with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Gallup\/status\/1828793176754409957\">70%<\/a> of Americans supporting unions. Under President Biden and Vice President Harris\u2019 leadership, petitions for union representation <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-trump-unions-labor-harris-a312a2d9b3ef77e139ae45f19d493894\">doubled<\/a> \u2013 increasing for the first time since the 1970s. Union members and their supporters have the power to decide the results of the presidential election and key down-ballot races, which is why from UAW factories in Detroit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/politics\/election\/teamsters-pennsylvania-kamala-harris-endorsement-20240920.html\">Philadelphia\u2019s Teamsters<\/a> union halls, the DNC isn\u2019t taking any vote for granted. This latest \u2018I Will Vote\u2019 campaign will highlight the stark contrast between Vice President Harris\u2019 New Way Forward and Donald Trump\u2019s Project 2025 agenda that would rollback workers\u2019 protections, attack their right to organize, and leave all workers behind with an economic agenda that prioritizes union-busting billionaires and incentives companies to ship American jobs overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWall Street didn\u2019t build America. The middle class built America \u2013 and unions built the middle-class. As Trump grifts to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies, Vice President Harris and the Democratic Party are fighting for working people. This voter education campaign demonstrates that we aren\u2019t taking a single vote for granted as we reach workers where they live and work to outline the stakes of this election and give them the information they need to cast their ballot,\u201d <strong>said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison<\/strong>. \u201cDonald Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and it shows \u2013 he has disparaged union members as \u2018dues-sucking people,\u2019 brags about failing to pay workers after the job is done, and is running on an economic agenda that would gut workers\u2019 rights and ship jobs overseas. In sharp contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats have a plan to lift workers up by continuing to invest in American jobs, strengthen workers\u2019 rights, and build an Opportunity Economy to make sure workers can not only get by, but get ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe road to the White House goes through our union halls,\u201d said <strong>Liz Shuler, president of the AFL-CIO.<\/strong> \u201cElon Musk can spend all the money he wants to try to build Donald Trump a ground game\u2014but he doesn\u2019t know how to do what we do. We have the infrastructure, the right message and, most importantly, the trust of our members. We\u2019ve contacted 2 million voters in-person, having actual conversations that move the needle, and between now and Election Day, the AFL-CIO and our affiliated unions will reach out to 5 million more voters in these battleground states. Across the Blue Wall states\u2014where we make up 20% of the electorate\u2014and all over the country, we\u2019re going to make the difference between now and Election Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DNC\u2019s \u2018I Will Vote\u2019 campaign directs voters to the DNC\u2019s most complete, accurate, and up-to-date national coverage of polling places and voter education information all in one place.
