Friend,
Rep. Rashida Tlaib grew up seeing firsthand the importance of unions and the labor movement, and she’s been a fighter for workers’ rights ever since. When her father joined a union, her family was able to get healthcare for the first time.
So we’re especially proud to announce that 5 labor unions, representing thousands of workers, have so far endorsed Rashida for her 2022 re-election campaign.1
Here’s what the Vice President and Legislative Political Coordinator for the American Federation of Governmental Employees (AFGE) Local 704 had to say:
“Representative Tlaib is unparalleled in her advocacy for Environmental Justice. From residents harmed by poor air quality to lead drinking water lines to the climate emergency that threatens us all, she stands with the people, not with corporate polluters. We at AFGE 704, the EPA scientists and engineers on the frontlines, stand with Rashida.”
Will you join labor unions and support Rashida’s “unparalleled advocacy” by chipping into her re-election campaign today?
Here’s Rashida with the president of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 876, which also endorsed her 2022 re-election:
Rashida has also been endorsed by the Michigan Teamsters Joint Council No. 43, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Michigan, and UNITEHERE! Local 24.
The President of UNITEHERE! Local 24 let Rashida know this:
“[We’re] proud to endorse your campaign to be reelected for the U.S. House of Representatives. We need people like you in office during these challenging times now more than ever. We are proud to stand with you and work together.”
Here’s Rashida with striking UNITEHERE! Workers—baristas from Great Lakes Coffee demanding recognition of their union in their fight for fair wages and better working conditions:
Rashida spoke at a recent rally with workers from Great Lakes Coffee, thanking them for “inspiring a movement across the country to be able to say we need human dignity in the workplace, and that pathway is forming a union.”
Rashida’s a bold leader in Congress who continues to push our government to prioritize working families over corporate profits. We need to send her back to Washington, DC to keep fighting for us.
Will you join labor unions in standing with Rashida by donating what you can afford to her re-election campaign today?
