The midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3 are less than two months away. The Trump administration has made clear their intention to disrupt the elections rather than face voters’ wrath over rising prices and needless wars. Trade unionists who believe in democracy must be prepared to respond.

RSVP to join Labor for Democracy for two trainings in the coming weeks:

• Tuesday, September 22 at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT [1]
• Tuesday, October 6 at noon ET / 11am CT / 10am MT / 9am PT [2]

These 90-minute trainings will focus on practical tools you can use in planning and strategizing with your local union or organization around how to defend our free and democratic elections. Facilitators will discuss the anticipated national threats as well as introduce an approach that can be taken by your union at the local level, with other unions and/or with other pro-democracy allies, to address potential threats to our elections. This will be a 90-minute intensive look at scenario planning that your union can use.

UE Local 1186 in Madison, Wisconsin is already asking its members, and members of the broader labor movement in their area, to sign cards pledging that they will take specific actions to defend the vote, including participating in a nationwide economic blackout if necessary.
