Remember to VOTE!

You know that this race presents a choice between two starkly different candidates - Kamala Harris, a lifelong fighter for unions, a strong middle-class, and a proud nation in which every American has the ability to thrive and make personal choices, and Donald Trump, an out-of-touch billionaire who has promised to cut taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the rest of us. If elected, he would enact polices in Project 2025, an extremist, authoritarian agenda to take over the government, eliminate the Department of Education, devastate unions, and rob us of personal freedoms.

The choice is crystal clear, and our democracy is at stake. Do not sit on the sidelines - VOTE!

The statewide and local races are vitally important too. Your vote is needed to help elect lawmakers in Springfield, Washington DC, and on the Chicago school board who will support public education and state services and advocate for your rights as a union member. The complete list of IFT-endorsed candidates is available at ift-aft.org/vote.

If you requested a mail-in ballot, remember that it must be postmarked or dropped in an official ballot box by 7 PM on November 5. Questions? Find answers in this vote-by-mail FAQ.

As Kamala says, "We Won't Go Back!" You can help make sure of that. Please VOTE.
