Collapse all
|- I believe in fighting for our common good, for our shared prosperity, for a government that serves all of us -- not just the biggest and most powerful corporations.
- We should be making things in this country, right here in western Pennsylvania with our union brothers and sisters doing the work. The American people never agreed to ship our jobs overseas. We never agreed to let mega corporations swallow up competitors and kill small businesses. We never agreed to sell the dreams of millions of hard-working families to the highest bidder and to make us dependent on fragile foreign supply chains that are driving up prices.
- Our democracy is in peril. From limitless corporate money running through our political system, to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, to Republican voter suppression efforts in Harrisburg and across the country, and gerrymandered maps that serve politicians instead of the people – we need bold action to protect and strengthen our democracy.
It’s no surprise that the radical right and their corporate backers have been waging war against unions, one of the most important tools we have to push back against corporate power. Unions have been on the defensive for decades in the face of this rising corporate power, hostile judges, and governments willing to lure companies with anti-union so-called “right-to-work” laws. We know that unionized workers earn better wages, benefits, and working conditions, and it’s long past time we make it easier for folks to form and join a union.
