Here’s what you can do to help us win on November 4:

1. Go to the polls and vote on Tuesday, November 4. Bring your family and friends. In New York State, polls are open from 6 AM to 9 PM. Click here to find your polling place. If you have any questions about voting, call 866-OUR-VOTE.
2. Volunteer for an hour or two to help elect those who stand with us. From Western NY to Long Island, there are opportunities to add your support to the frontlines every day leading up to the election. To get involved, contact Joanna Solmonsohn – and plan to wear your NYSNA red!
3. When you vote for NYSNA-endorsed candidates, make sure you vote for them on the Working Families Party line! The WFP is the only party that has support for our Safe Staffing Bill as part of their platform, and that's good for patients. When you vote for candidates on the WFP line, all the votes count. So vote on the Working Families Party line.
4. Spread the word to nurses across the state by tagging NYSNA on Facebook and Twitter; when you post photos and updates online use the hashtag #NYSNAVotes – and follow NYSNA on Facebook and Twitter to keep track as we approach the finish line!
