Join Labor for Democracy!
Join with labor unions and members across the U.S. to build a movement committed to protecting our unions and our democracy!
Labor for Democracy is a network of labor unions committed to defending our fundamental rights to demonstrate and organize collective power in the face of Trump administration attacks on labor rights, unions, working people and democracy itself. We represent an ever-growing, inclusive movement of labor organizations, elected union leaders, and rank-and-file members who oppose the billionaire-backed government takeover and pledge to advance the cause of democratic governance in all sectors of society.
Trump wants a government that only serves the interests of corporations and oligarchs. Rather than a government of, by, and for the people, he would create one by and for the privileged rich. He wants to create a culture of fear.
- We call on the Trump administration to immediately release our fellow workers and immigrant families and stop this campaign of terror.
- We call on all employers and state and local governments to refuse to collaborate with these attacks, and to do everything they can to resist.
- We call on university administrations to stand up to the threats and coercion, and to refuse any cooperation with federal immigration and law enforcement authorities seeking to unlawfully persecute foreign students and faculty and student dissenters.
- We call on all elected officials to find their spines and stand up for these workers.
- We call on all unions to organize rallies, demonstrations, and join with our community allies in other actions to demand that the administration stop these attacks and free our fellow workers.
The labor movement is the largest and and best organized defense of our democracy capable of acting to stop Trump's deportation, censorship, and intimidation machine. When necessary, we must disrupt business as usual.
We must not be passive or silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on our rights, the Constitution, and democracy itself. An injury to one is an injury to all!
