TAKE ACTION: Protect Flight Attendants' Voting Rights
December 7, 2021 - As a Flight Attendant, most Election Days we're away from home. That's why we rely on early voting and mail ballots to cast our votes in local, state, and national elections.
States where a large number of Flight Attendants live like Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, have passed laws to restrict voting access in the last year including eliminating voting locations, shortening early voting periods, making it harder to request a mail-in or absentee ballots, and more. This will make it harder for us to vote.
These attacks on voting rights are a direct attack on Flight Attendant voting rights. That's why we are fighting to ensure The Freedom to Vote Act is passed by the Senate and signed into law.
What will The Freedom to Vote Act accomplish?
- Allow for same day voter registration,
- Protect and expand secure access to voting by mail,
- Establish 15 days of early voting, including at least two weekends, and
- Protect against voter intimidation.
Ask your Senator to support voting rights and the Freedom to Vote Act to ensure everyone's right to vote and a functioning democracy for us all.
