john, 

What if we were to tell you that during this election there was a plan to attack you, your family, your values, and your union? That this plan has been documented and verified, and trainings are taking place on how to carry out and implement this agenda throughout all levels of government—local, state, and federal—soon after the elections are over!

 

Here are some of the 'lowlights' in this over 900-page document of attacks on labor and working families:

  • Banning unions for public service workers (pg. 82)
  • Firing civil service workers and replacing them with anti-union bureaucrats (pg. 80)
  • Letting bosses eliminate unions mid-contract (pg. 603)
  • Letting companies stop paying overtime (pg. 592)
  • Eliminating child labor protections (pg. 595)
  • Urging Congress to pass Sen. J.D. Vance’s bill to let employers create their own sham company-run unions (pg. 599)

This is only a small list of the anti-worker, anti-family, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, and anti-LGBTQ+ agendas of what’s known as Project 2025. This blatant attack on our democratic values has no place in our political discourse, and it must be defeated!

 

What are you willing to do to protect yourselves, your families, and your Union? One important thing we can do is to Vote! Let’s educate ourselves, look out for ourselves, and listen to your union leaders who are working on your behalf.
