Attend an AFSCME labor-to-labor GOTV event in final push

Posted Oct. 26, 2026 by OCSEA

Labor-to-labor GOTV events are underway! Get involved!

Our union values are on the ballot! That's why thousands of Ohio union members are volunteering in Get Out the Vote efforts by canvassing neighborhoods and making calls about labor-endorsed candidates. We're having critical conversations with brother and sister union members and their families about the candidates who have earned labor’s endorsement—why they earned it––and why they deserve your support in the upcoming election. Keep scrolling for upcoming GOTV events. Stay tuned to these emails and visit OCSEAVotes.org for updates on GOTV activities, union endorsements and more.

It's time to take your activism to the next level!

The Nov. 3 midterm election is Tuesday, and there is a lot of work to do! And, there's a lot on the line, especially as we push to win an Ohio gubernatorial election that supports public employee union members, including a REAL voice at the bargaining table! And don't forget, voting in a state legislature that supports our rights to collective bargaining. Also important, electing a Congress that actually focuses on the real national issues impacting working families and local race candidates who are essential for rebuilding our communities.

With that in mind, we're asking OCSEA activists to join AFSCME President Patrick Moran and friends of labor in the final Get Out the Vote push to elect union-endorsed candidates. This includes canvassing events and rallies with Dr. Amy Acton for Governor, Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate and many friends of labor! Please wear AFSCME Green to all events and look for others in AFSCME green as we crowd build AFSCME support at these important events!
