Local 1056-Flushing, Local 1179-New York, and Local 1181 Get Out the Vote for ATU-endorsed Congressional candidate Laura Gillen

In a Get Out The Vote effort targeting NYC commuters, this morning our members from Local 1056-Flushing, Local 1179-New York, and Local 1181 rallied with ATU-endorsed Congressional candidate Laura Gillen at an LIRR station just two days before early voting in New York begins in one of the most closely-watched Congressional races in the nation.

At the rally, ATU International Vice President Mark Henry and Gillen spoke about the importance of federal funding for public transit to ensure safe, reliable, and affordable transportation for all. After the rally our members leafleted riders encouraging them to vote for Gillen and Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
