Happy National Voter Registration Day

The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy. It's the beating heart of our country's civil rights-and our labor movement.

That's why we're celebrating National Voter Registration Day-the single largest voter registration day in the country. We're reaching out to make sure you, your family, co-workers, neighbors and friends are ready to exercise our democratic rights.

The voter registration deadline is approaching in many states over the next few weeks. Some states have deadlines during the first week of October.

So we have two important questions for you.

1. Will you take a moment to review the voter registration deadlines in your state?

Find information about your state's voting laws and deadlines through our partner Ballot Ready.

2. Will you make sure your voter registration is correct and up to date? Or, register to vote for the first time. We have all the tools you need on our website:

It's important to check your voter status early, so you don't miss any registration deadlines and are ready when Election Day rolls around.

Thank you for getting ready to vote in November! Our vote is our voice, and we'll need every voice during this election to make sure we protect our contract, our jobs, and our freedoms.
