The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has launched the Equipped to Vote campaign, a national bipartisan get out the vote (GOTV) campaign aimed at engaging and mobilizing the 2.3 million men and women of the equipment manufacturing industry. The campaign runs from July 1 to November 4 and focuses on three critical policy areas: trade, infrastructure, and rural America [dc73aa71].
The Equipped to Vote campaign provides participants with the opportunity to earn points and win prizes by engaging with the campaign. It features a digital action center that offers resources for getting educated, registered to vote, and taking action. The campaign's August module specifically focuses on infrastructure, highlighting the importance of this policy area for the equipment manufacturing industry [dc73aa71].
AEM encourages everyone to join the Equipped to Vote campaign and advocate for pro-growth, pro-jobs, and pro-worker policies. They are also offering an Event-in-a-Box, which can be obtained by contacting manufacturingexpress@aem.org.

The Equipped to Vote campaign is an extension of AEM's Manufacturing Express Bus tour, which visited 80 communities and manufacturing facilities across the United States to support the industry and its employees. The tour aimed to collaborate with local and regional policymakers to emphasize bipartisan policies that support the equipment manufacturing sector and its contributions to the US economy. The Manufacturing Express tour concluded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in October, serving as a culmination of the tour's efforts [0c8bb1ad].
