May 17 Labor Walks were a great success!

This Saturday, 511 labor activists at 18 sites (with four more scheduled soon) around the state of Ohio walked door-to-door to talk to fellow Union and Working America members about the issues at stake in the elections this year. It was truly an amazing occasion, one that made use of everything that makes the labor movement strong – from the great organizing it took to make these walks happen, to the fundamental love of democracy that we see in working men and women talking face-to-face with their brothers and sisters about the political issues that matter to them. You can see a video of some of the participants in the Columbus walks talking about their experience Saturday at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EmcffM6Exs.

Members who walked Saturday said that the response they got from folks was overwhelmingly positive. Over and over again, we heard that people really just wanted to talk about their lives and their issues – “they just wanted somebody to listen to them for once,” said Cynthia O’Kane of the CWA. Many thanks and congratulations to everyone who made these walks happen, especially the members who volunteered some of their Saturday to get the message out to members that it’s time for their voices to be heard.
