All across the country, corporations and the ultra-wealthy are funneling unprecedented amounts of money into our political system. Their goal is to create an unbalanced and unfair economy where wages are as low as possible and profits replace respect for the workers that created them.

The UFCW Active Ballot Club (ABC) seeks to level the playing field. By bringing together thousands of workers, our political concerns can be amplified to a decibel that is impossible to ignore.

By joining the Active Ballot Club, Local 400 members are automatically entered into a monthly drawing for a chance to win a prize.

This month’s winner is Amanda O’Malley from Kroger 515 in Mechanicsville, VA. Amanda has been with Kroger since October 2014 and was excited to receive a $250 gift card in this month’s drawing.

When asked why she joined the Active Ballot Club, she said “I want to support my union and political candidates promoting workers.”
