Stand Up and Vote

Representatives of Stand Up and Vote were helping members get registered at our last General Membership meeting.

Members of Local 479’s Young Workers Committee met representatives from Stand up and Vote at the Power to the Polls event in January and invited them to Local 479’s April General Membership meeting to help members register to vote. Eligible voters include (but are not limited to) people who will be turning 18 before the election, anyone who has moved into the area since the previous election, and ex-felons who have completed their parole. Making your presence felt at the polls is more important than ever and registering to vote is the first step in that process. The Young Workers have invited representatives from Stand up and Vote to future membership meetings to continue registering Georgia voters. If you would like to have Stand up and vote attend an event that you are holding contact them via their website: www.Georgiastandup.org
