MEA Votes

One more day...

Till the end of the ads!

Till the robocalls stop!

And, most importantly, till voters decide who will lead our state out of this economic nightmare!

For Michigan – and Michigan’s public schools – to succeed, we need strong leadership from the elected officials who will be chosen tomorrow. Make your voice heard in support of MEA-recommended candidates who will make public education a top priority – PLEASE VOTE tomorrow. The stakes couldn’t be higher...

Join with your union brothers and sisters at a Get Out the Vote rally and door-to-door effort on Saturday morning in Monroe:

Rally at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30
UAW Hall - 281 Detroit Ave. in Monroe

GOTV walk to follow for Congressman John Dingell (15th Congressional), Rep. Kate Ebli (56th State House) and Mike Smith (55th State House)

Speakers to include Congressman Dingell, Rep. Ebli, Mr. Smith, AFL-CIO President Mark Gaffney and MEA Vice President Steve Cook.

If you can't make it to Monroe on Saturday, please take some time to help a candidate in your area. Every voice matters as we approach Election Day on Tuesday -- make yours heard!

The journey to rebuild Michigan's future begins on Election Day, writes MEA President Iris K. Salters, in her monthly column in The Detroit News. Don't miss the opportunity to make your voice heard Tuesday!

Need some ideas for what election activities you can do in the waning days of this campaign season? Courtesy of the BFCL Local Presidents Academy, here are some ideas that are working in locals statewide...

Time is running out in this election -- your help can mean the difference between victory and defeat on Nov. 2 for friends of public education. Take time this weekend and throughout the next 11 days to volunteer to help with phone banks, door-to-door candidate walks and other campaign activities.

To win this fall, it will be critical to Get Out The Vote with our members and the public. That’s why MEA is working with campaigns across the state to set up Enough is Enough GOTV Walks on the three Saturday’s leading up to Election Day. The first of those walk days is this Saturday, Oct. 16.

Join educators and community members, NEA Vice President Lily Eskelsen, and several political candidates at a Get Out the Vote Rally on Monday afternoon in Flint.

Come out to hear about the important role education plays in this critical election. The rally will be held at the Genesee County MEA UniServ Office, 5095 Exchange Dr. in Flint beginning at 5 p.m. (map)
