August 6, 2024 — Today, we celebrate the 59th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act was a landmark piece of legislation that prohibited racial discrimination in voting. Its passage pushed us closer to realizing our country’s founding principles of liberty and justice for all.
The anniversary of the Voting Rights Act is a reminder to use your voice and use your vote. With Election Day coming up, here are three quick things you can do to get ready. With our schedules, Flight Attendants should make a plan to vote early or by mail since many won’t be home to cast our ballots in-person on Election Day.

Yesterday, the AFA Board of Directors—the directly elected leaders of 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines— voted unanimously to endorse the election of Vice President Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States.
Our union will redouble efforts to encourage first and foremost participation in our democracy by all Flight Attendants with voter registration drives, information on early and absentee balloting, and information that led to this endorsement as Flight Attendants make their own decision in how to cast their vote on or before November 5, 2024.
Visit our Election Hub to register to vote, check your voter registration, and find out what’s on your ballot (when that information becomes available). And check out our endorsed candidates on our website.
