“Voting is the foundation stone for political action.”
—Martin Luther King Jr.

The AFL-CIO 2008 Voting Rights Protection Program, My Vote, My Right, seeks to ensure that all voters have a chance to vote and that their votes are properly counted. Our efforts are on behalf of all voters, but especially those in our target states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. Please use our materials to assist your own voting rights protection activities, and contact us if you want to help with ours.

For more information, contact us at yourvote@aflcio.org or (800) 952-2550.
