It’s a real rush, as a worker, to hear a presidential candidate go all the way with us, call out our boss/UC, and not give a safe speech. What’s “safe” for the establishment is never safe for workers. Thank you,

I’m honored to be endorsed by the United Farm Workers! Last year I joined their 330 March to demand their right to organize. I didn’t go to give them a speech. I brought them new walking shoes for the journey. Si Se Puede!
We are proud to endorse

for CA Senate. Kathryn is our sister in the labor movement and a proven fighter for working class people.
She has come through for farm workers again and again – and we know she’ll do the same in the California State Senate.

When a woman makes $.78 (on average) less than a white non-Hispanic man, she also gets less worker’s comp for the same injury, less retirement for the same lifetime career, less disability pay for the same disability. Being in a union helps level it up.
