President @BarackObama joined @AbdulElSayed, @JocelynBenson, @garlin, and @EliNSavit for tonight's “One Michigan” get‑out‑the‑vote rally in Detroit, and our UAW family was right there with them. With only 10 days left before Election Day, our members are determined to finish strong by knocking on doors, making phone calls, and having the one-on-one conversations in our communities that will make the difference on November 3.
