If you want to get involved now is the time

Dear Activists-

It should come as no surprise that in the countdown to the election there are plenty of events and opportunities to volunteer upcoming.  Next Tuesday, October 23d, we are encouraging you to bring your friends and family down to the Oregon AFL CIO (3645 SE 32^nd) starting at 5:30 pm for a phone bank encouraging people to elect Transit and Labor Friendly candidates. The AFL CIO will be providing dinner and shirts.  If that particular evening does not work for you, please contact Mike Pucik at 503-730-6585 for other dates and locations.

On Wednesday October 24^th the Oregon AFL CIO will be sponsoring a worksite flier event in downtown Portland at 7:00 am. This is your chance to not only hand out fliers, but also to hear from some of the candidates and talk to other union members downtown during the morning rush.  If you are interested, this begins at 7:00 am at the Terry Shrunk Plaza, at SW 3^rd Avenue and Madison, downtown Portland.

Our third and final (for now) event is canvassing to win votes next Saturday morning, October 27^th at 10:00 am for Secretary of State Candidate Kate Brown, Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, and State Representative Chris Gorsek. Once again we will be meeting at the Oregon AFL CIO (3645 SE 32^nd) to begin. Afterwards, the Clackamas County Fire Fighters Union Local IAFF 1159 will be providing a BBQ lunch.

For more information about the candidates or events, please contact Jess at (503) 232-1195 extension 114, or email jess@aflcio.org

Thanks for everything you do-
