john,

A poll released earlier this week has us worried: voters are evenly divided over whether to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. If the supporters of the Recall succeed, a Trump-style Republican would immediately take over California. This is a sneak attack on our democracy. Decades of progress on the minimum wage, on our pensions, on affordable health care – and a lot more – would instantly be threatened.

So, I’m asking you to help expose who is backing the anti-union Recall. Here’s a hint: it’s the same extremists attacking voting rights across the country, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee!

Will you join me in exposing who’s really backing the anti-union Recall by sharing this graphic on social media?

Working people are up against a national network of very rich anti-union funders who are taking aim at our pensions, workplace safety rules, our public schools and even our right to vote! These Trump allies, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, will stop at nothing and spend millions more than they already have to put an anti-union extremist in the governor’s office. But we can fight back! The supporters of the Recall prefer to stay in the shadows, so we’ve got to share who’s backing this sneak attack on our progress.

Why are they doing this now? Why in 2021? It’s because they couldn’t win with a union-busting candidate in the last election. By pulling a fast one on California’s working folks, they want to steal the governor’s office in a low-turnout special election and control California. I don't want to see an anti-union candidate – someone who doesn’t believe in the minimum wage or an enemy of labor unions – to end up winning with a tiny fraction of the vote.

So, will you join me in exposing the shady anti-union backers of the Recall?

Together, we can work to build a more pro-worker California – and that means defeating the anti-union recall!

In Solidarity,
