[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress



All of Alexandria’s merchandise is made in the USA and printed by a 100%
union supply chain. Today, we wanted to introduce you to Kevin O’Brien,
co-founder of the worker-owned union cooperative that prints Alexandria’s
Tax the Rich Collection:

“I’ve been in the garment industry since 1995, but I joined my first union
in 2001. The project ended in 2004 and I worked in the industry for
another decade as a non-union worker making and distributing union
merchandise. Over the years, I have seen the worst of the worst of how
non-union corporate print shops and warehouses are run — from wage theft
and toxic chemicals, to rampant bullying and harassment.

Right now, [Worx Printing Cooperative] is working with so many agents of
change like the Amazon Labor Union, Starbucks Workers United, [Ben &
Jerry’s] Scoopers United, UNITE HERE!, Working Families Party, DSA, and
the broader labor and cooperative communities.

Every person at Worx is a member of the United Steelworkers Union, a vital
partner in our commitment to civil, human, and workers’ rights.The United
Steelworkers have revived the modern union co-operative movement in the
US, and we’re lucky that we have joined with others like AOC who see the
value in that. Ethical labor and high quality is at the center of
everything we do — from our worker owners to our environmental impact.

When we say ‘Tax the Rich’, it also means that we need to recognize the
essential role that working people play in creating wealth. Everyone
should see the benefits of the successful business they help to create.

your purchase — and directly support a worker-owned, union cooperative.”

Thank you for standing with fair wages and the direct support of American
businesses.

In solidarity,

Team AOC
