Today’s lesson: Southern workers fight for democracy while their governors oppose it. Eventually, workers & democracy will win. And ideally not just 1 site at a time but by negotiating industry-wide standards & neutrality at each individual plant. #Forward vote.uaw.org/mercedes-alaba…

As VP Harris appears poised to be the next dem nominee for president, we hope to hear an agenda from her that centers the needs of workers–Black, brown, and white alike–and the importance of expanding our democracy, from the factory floor to the ballot box. Let’s get to work.
