In our struggle to secure a fairer economy and a more just society, the labor movement has marched in the streets, organized in the workplace and mobilized in communities across the country. But to secure the change we need, working people also have needed to ensure that our voices are represented in the halls of power. In the fight to preserve our dignity on the job, there’s no greater advantage than having our union brothers and sisters seated at the decision making table.

As we tackle the enormous challenges and opportunities facing us, we need genuine advocates for working families on our side—and that means rallying more union members to run for office. That’s why we are thrilled to host a panel of union member-elected officials to discuss how their labor backgrounds motivate them and the impact they have been able to make in their communities.

When workers hold the power, we all win. So join us and help find out how to help build a political system that works for working people!
