Former representative Mary Peltola has consistently proven that “working-class values” are more than just a campaign slogan. They are a way of life. As she officially launches her 2026 bid for the U.S. Senate, her campaign is gaining momentum as a champion for the people who keep Alaska running. The Stand Up For Workers PAC […]

It was a casual meeting. At my health club in the beginning of February, a manager from one of Minneapolis’s major construction firms told me his company runs 22 crews across the metro. The day before, only four workers showed up. Four out of more than a hundred! Not because of weather. Not because of […]

Whether you are a barista, a middle manager, or a factory supervisor, you probably don’t spend your Tuesday mornings checking the federal judicial nomination list. It feels like “D.C. noise”—distant, political, and largely irrelevant to your daily shift. But as a plaintiff’s lawyer in Austin, TX who fights for workers nationwide, I’m here to tell […]

It’s the ability to speak up about harm, set boundaries, report […]

Long before affordability powered Mikie Sherill, Abigail Spanberger and Zohran Momdani to election in November 2025, Sherrod Brown focused on working-class economic issues in the House and in the Senate. He has been a strong supporter of organized labor, and Sherrod and his wife Connie proudly drive union-made Jeeps manufactured in Toledo, Ohio. After noting […]

As the new year begins, the seemingly unending series of missteps by the current White House, especially on the economy, is feeding a growing number of defections of Trump loyalists away from their unbreakable bond to the chief executive.
