There are just 27 days left until Election Day and our Affiliate unions have been out knocking doors and talking with voters across Maryland and in crucial battleground states. Here's a look at some of that work in action.

The Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO and members of UFCW Local 400, AFSCME Maryland, AFL-CIO, U.S. Steelworkers, and the National Education Association were in Prince George's County last Saturday for Kamala Harris, Angela Alsobrooks, and labor-endorsed candidates on the ballot. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this powerful day.
