Getting Out the Vote in 2012 Year after year and election after election, OCSEA members are constantly reminded of the importance of electing labor-friendly candidates. This year, in addition to national races and electing candidates to the Ohio General Assembly, activists are needed to Get Out the Vote for the “YES on Issue 2” effort. Issue 2 is a ballot initiative to change how Congressional and legislative districts are drawn by giving it back to the people of Ohio once and for all. With improved canvassing and phone banking, including a new mobile phone bank, GOTV is easier than ever. Volunteer at OCSEAVotes.org today! Matt Arnold, Washington Chap. 8400, traveled to Columbus to attend the Ohio Labor 2012 Workers’ Voice campaign kickoff and get GOTV information to take back to Southeastern Ohio. Volunteer at ocseavotes.org today! Phone Bank and Canvassing at OCSEA Headquarters Now through Nov. 6 Election Day, OCSEA is hosting daily GOTV phone banks at its headquarters. Calls are member-to-member and Hatch Act compliant. Recently, activists from OCSEA’s District 6 made calls to members in support of the proworker Issue 2 and candidates who champion public workers. Will you join them? Stop by to volunteer! OCSea Headquarters 390 Worthington Road Westerville, OH 43082 Mondays – Fridays – 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Saturdays – 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Sundays – 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Phone Bank in a Box OCSEA leaders interested in setting up a phone bank for their chapters now have the “Phone Bank in a Box” option. A mobile phone bank kit for chapters gives activists the chance to participate in GOTV efforts without leaving home. Scrub Off: Out with the old and in with the new! Last year it was “No on 2” against SB 5. This year it’s “Yes on 2” for fair districts. If you still have that old bumper sticker on your car, it's time to trade it in for a brand new “Yes on Issue 2” bumper sticker. OCSEA is looking for Scrub Leaders to host “Scrub Off Saturdays” all over the state through Election Day. To volunteer, email troberts@ocsea.org or visit OCSEAVotes.org 10 Public Employee Quarterly Fall 2012
Workers Voice Not able to come to Columbus to volunteer with OCSEA? Want to get involved in your community? The AFL-CIO Workers Voice program is hosting phone banks and walks across the state. Workers Voice is an independent group of the AFL-CIO and is looking for individuals and groups to volunteer. Worried about being Hatched? AFL-CIO has safeguards in place to make sure our activists follow the law regarding public servants engaging in political activity. Just let them know you’re a public employee. Visit OCSEAVotes.org. for the Workers Voice schedule and locations. Volunteer for GOTV and bring home the swag! Vote YES on Nov. 6 Members of Chap. 800 kick off their GOTV efforts at a parade in Georgetown. (Above) District 7 holds a Get Out the Vote event. Ask your chapter leaders how to volunteer and get free Yes on 2 stuff! Fall 2012 Public Employee Quarterly 11
