The AFL-CIO is working with local unions like OCSEA to coordinate Labor-to-Labor walks in neighborhoods across the state. There's plenty of opportunities, including Labor-to-Labor Walks hosted by the AFL-CIO and other unions like OCSEA.

• Walk organizers will connect you with labor households to help Get Out The Vote.

• You'll receive instructions, maps and materials that will guide you in sharing information on issues that impact working families as well as voter registration and the early voters ballot.

• Bring a friend or ask to be paired up with a walk buddy when you arrive at the walk staging location.

As in the past, OCSEA would like to see subordinate bodies offer $25/member for at least 2 hours of labor walking. Half of that cost can be reimbursed through the Challenge Grant Program.

Get your walking shoes ready for upcoming labor walk dates. Also, consider neighborhood canvass opportunities through Faith Vote Columbus, a non-partisan coalition committed to voter registration and education.
