Through voluntary contributions to the UAW Voluntary Community Action Program (V-CAP), we have a stronger voice in local, state, and national politics! By contributing, we help elect pro-worker and pro-education candidates who can influence state and federal decisions on key issues, like funding for research and higher education. I am a U.S. eligible voter or U.S. Permanent Resident and I hereby join UAW members across the country to have a stronger voice in my community by contributing to the UAW Voluntary Community Action Program (V-CAP). I assign to UAW V-CAP the following sum or percentage of my gross pay each and every month, and voluntarily authorize my Employer each month to deduct this amount from my wages and remit it to UAW V-CAP. I understand that signing this authorization and contributing to UAW V-CAP are not conditions of employment or UAW membership, that contributions are not tax-deductible, and that my status, rights, and benefits in UAW will not be affected by whether or how much I contribute. I also understand that UAW V-CAP will use the money received to make political contributions in connection with local, state, and federal elections as decided on democratically by UAW members.
