John,

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the early death of a labor hero: UAW President Walter Reuther. Reuther helped to form the labor movement as a force for not only workers’ rights, but women’s rights, civil rights, environmentalism and social justice, too.

In honor of Reuther’s colossal legacy, we are joining our UAW brothers and sisters in asking the postmaster general to issue a commemorative stamp for the anniversary of his death. Will you join us and sign the petition today?

In his lifetime, Walter Reuther was a strong ally of Martin Luther King Jr., marching with him across the American South. He advocated for universal health care, better public education and access to affordable housing. It’s imperative that Reuther’s powerful message—that unions are a force for good for all people—not be lost to history.

Sign the petition asking the postmaster general to make a commemorative Walter Reuther stamp.

In Solidarity,

Team AFL-CIO
