IBEW 21 members have strength in numbers. We must use our strength to win good pay, retirement security, safe work environments, broad access to quality education for our children and much more. By mobilizing through our get-out-the-vote effort, IBEW 21 members can elect candidates who support and will enact a working families’ agenda so we all can move forward together. Union families must register to vote, volunteer to help friends of Labor and then get out to vote on Election Day. We do make a difference. After all of the campaign rhetoric, we must elect the candidates who best serve the interests of working people. We must not let wedge issues divide us. IBEW Local 21 supports those candidates who stand with working families.

Ordinary men and women fought—and even died—to gain voting rights and to protect people’s right to vote without intimidation or obstruction. Yet states across the country continue to pass restrictive voter ID and voter suppression laws. These attempts to reduce access to the polls and make citizens meet unnecessary requirements for voting should be seen as nothing less than an attack on our fundamental freedoms. David vs. Goliath Compared with the big-dollar super PACs and corporate front groups, working people are the Davids standing up to Goliath in today’s politics. But our strength is in our numbers, our values and plain, hard work. When we come together, we are formidable. This election year, what’s at stake are basic values. Will we bow to the top 1%? Or will we honor the simple idea that made America great and will make America great again—respect for hard work and the contributions of every person?
