The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) announced its largest-ever voter mobilization initiative on Aug. 27, vowing to use its nationwide “organizing machine” to help the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, defeat former President Donald Trump.

“We delivered Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House, and every day since then, we have seen a huge difference. Well, now it’s time to go even bigger because it’s all on the line Nov. 5,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said in her second annual “State of the Unions” speech.
