ABC Weekly Update - 5/5
23 More Days til Ballots Need to Be In - Vote A Better Contract Full Slate
🗳 Good Morning, ABC Candidates & Supporters!
🚨 BALLOTS HAVE BEEN MAILED!!🚨
Keep an eye out for the goldenrod (yellow) envelope in your mailbox.
📬 IMPORTANT: If you do not receive your ballot by May 10th, you should plan to vote in person at the dedicated UFT events and borough offices on the scheduled dates and times.
💥 We Need YOU to Get Out the Vote!
ABC can win — but only if we all turn out the vote.
Let’s push the UFT’s shamefully low 26% voter turnout closer to 100%!
We need every UFT member in your school, campus, worksite, grad program, and personal networks to cast a ballot.
