— UNITE HERE hospitality workers will be joined by Atlanta City Council members and allies to highlight campaign to knock on over one million doors to elect @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff.
Tomorrow's rally will be at the Gold Lot at Turner Field, and will be followed by a “walk with us” opportunity for press to follow canvassers and politicians on the doors speaking to voters.
This event will be staged safely, masks and 6-feet social distancing required.
During the General, we knocked on the doors of 3M voters to vote for Biden/Harris in NV, AZ, FL & PA, helping drive unprecedented turnout while staying safe through a strict contactless canvassing protocol — now we're fighting to do the same in GA by knocking on over 1M doors.

UNITE HERE, the hospitality workers’ union, organized the country’s largest union-door-to-door canvassing operation, paving the way to a clear path to victory for Joe Biden.
In Pennsylvania, the state that clinched victory for the democratic candidates, UNITE HERE canvassers knocked on the doors of 575,000 voters. These mostly Black and Brown workers made the critical difference in defeating Trump in Pennsylvania.
NATIONWIDE — UNITE HERE, the hospitality workers’ union, organized the country’s largest union-door-to-door canvassing operation. Today, the union announced that those efforts in Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania point to a clear path to victory for Joe Biden.
UNITE HERE has been preparing for the 2020 election since 2016, identifying several counties for targeted door-to-door outreach. Among them were cities now critical to the outcome of the current race: Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada; Phoenix, Arizona; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
STATEMENT from the Black Leadership Group of UNITE HERE International Union:
We are organizers.
We are elected officers.
We are workers.
We are community leaders and neighbors.
We are parents, children, siblings, and kin.
We are your Union family.
And we cannot breathe.
In the last three months we have seen companies line up to abandon us.
We have seen them take away healthcare, guaranteeing that more people will fall ill.
We have seen politicians shrug their shoulders as people go hungry.
But while our Union has been thrown into crisis, our communities have been tossed into even deadlier devastation by ongoing racism and racist violence.
We honor the memory of 146 victims lost in 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Many were young immigrant women, new to America, working to support their families. From the ashes rose a movement of change, led by women like them. This is their story. These are their names: #Triangle146
Lizzie Adler was 24 years old at the time of the fire. Born in Romania, she had lived in the U.S. for 3 ½ months. She was buried in Mt Richmond Cemetery on March 26, 1911. She was the daughter of Labil Adler and Rachel Jacobs. #Triangle146
Anna Altman was 16 years old at the time of the fire. Born in Russia, she had lived in the U.S. for 5 years and was a union member. She was buried in Ocean View Cemetery on March 26, 1911. She was the daughter of Larres Adler and Sarah Dreadolph. #Triangle146
