SOAR Volunteers Needed for the USW’s 2026 Member-to-Member Campaign!

As in recent election cycles, one tactic our union will use during this year's election work is personalized postcards written by USW members and our retirees.

Whether the message urges someone to register or reminds them to vote, this particular outreach stands out in the mail. It's also a way for SOAR members - no matter where they live in the U.S. - to easily get involved in our work to elect pro-worker, pro-retiree candidates.

SOAR volunteers will receive a package in the mail containing (50) blank postcards, sample messages, and instructions on where to return them. Once we receive your completed postcards at USW headquarters, we will take care of delivering them to USW members who live in the most competitive districts and states in the 2026 midterm elections. It's a small step that can make a big impact.

Please visit the https://www.uswvoices.org website to get started. Or, call the SOAR office toll-free at 866-208-4420 or email your name, address and phone number to [email protected]

In addition to writing postcards, SOAR members can also join in on these vital efforts by calling or texting voters and participating in neighborhood canvassing. Every action helps to strengthen our Union Voter mobilization campaign!

Did You Know…

The right to vote has never protected itself.

Across the country, voters continue to face efforts that can make casting a ballot more difficult, from voter roll purges and stricter ID requirements to changes in mail and absentee voting rules, polling place closures, and other barriers that can leave working people confused about when, where, and how to vote.

All too often, people don't realize there's a problem until it's time to cast their ballot.

That's why it's important to check your voter registration status before Election Day, even if you've voted before. A move, a name change, an outdated address, or changes in state election rules can create problems you may not know about until it's too late.

Don't wait until Election Day to find out.

Visit https://www.uswvoices.org to check your voter registration status and get current information on mail and absentee voting, polling locations, and other important election information.

Our union has always understood that working people have power when we make our voices heard. Make sure your vote will be counted. Check your status. Know your options. Make your voice heard.

SOAR Chapter Activity: Take the lead by organizing a postcard-writing event or hosting a voter registration drive within your SOAR chapter. These activities are a powerful way to unite members and ensure strong participation in the upcoming elections.
