AFL-CIO launches election phonebank

The AFL-CIO has launched its daily Labor to Labor phonebank in the Lewis Room at the 16th Street headquarters. “This year we’re doing volunteer recruitment, signing people up to attend local walks and phone banks,” says Kevin Byrne. “We're not talking about candidates and we are calling likely volunteers so the calls have been much friendlier and many people are eager to help.” The phonebank runs 11a to 5p every weekday; click here to sign up. photo by Kevin Byrne
