As part of a national week of "We Are Working America" canvasses, events have been organized for Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland in which elected officials and candidates will meet up with labor leaders and members of the AFL/CIO affiliate organization Working America this Saturday (6/7) to hold rallies and go canvassing door-to-door to discuss issues of concern to working families: health care, good jobs, and turning around the economy. The Cincinnati event will feature Ohio Treasurer Rich Cordray (D-Grove City) and congressional challenger State Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), the Columbus event will include congressional challenger County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Columbus), and in Cleveland the featured elected official is Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Cleveland).

Working America was created in 2003 to give workers who don't have a union on the job the opportunity to engage on economic issues. Since then it has grown to more than 2 million members in every state and and U.S. Territory. In Ohio, Working America expects to reach 800,000 members by Labor Day.
