The Illinois Education Association has partnered with a group called Operation Swing State to help connect our members with Harris/Walz election efforts in Wisconsin and Michigan.
On Friday, the IEA Board of Directors voted to concur with the NEA’s decision to recommend Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president in the upcoming election. As you probably know, most believe the decision on who succeeds President Joe Biden in the oval office will come down to seven swing states – Wisconsin and Michigan are two of the seven.
If you’d like to help in the effort, IEA and Operation Swing State will be providing buses to bring volunteers to Wisconsin and Michigan to knock on the doors of fellow likely voters and encourage them to vote for the Harris/Walz ticket.
Here are the details for meeting spots and registration links:
- Oct. 12 – Michigan: Meet at the IEA Matteson office (4747 Lincoln Mall Dr.) by 8 to leave by 8:30 a.m. Register here.
- Oct. 19 – Wisconsin: Meet at the IEA Rockford office (7029 Rote Rd.) by 8:30 to leave by 9 a.m. Register here.
- Oct. 26 – Michigan: Meet at the IEA Matteson office (4747 Lincoln Mall Dr.) by 8 to leave by 8:30 a.m. Register here.
