Fighting for Working Families

We believe America is strongest when all working people can earn family-supporting wages, are treated fairly, have a safe workplace, and have the right to organize. We advocate for pro-worker policies, including raising the minimum wage, strengthening Social Security, ensuring fair tax policies, and making high-quality, affordable health care available to all. See some of the organizations we are proud to support below.
