November 2, 2010: Our Big Day through Photos

No, I'm not talking about a wedding! Although, Election Day 2010 did prove to be incredibly exciting and the start of new beginnings for Freelancers Union. Seventy-two of our endorsed candidates won their races and we are looking forward to working with them in the new session. We think their victories had a little bit to do with the hard work and dedication of our members, and their willingness to brave the freezing wind tunnels that are certain blocks of the Upper East Side, Brooklyn, and Long Island. All told, we kept a rotating post at the polling sites for over 12 hours! Some shots of the occasion for your viewing pleasure:
