by Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO
On Jan. 6, an angry mob attacked the U.S. Capitol and our democracy. They wanted to go back to the days of segregation, voter suppression and violence against communities of color. Sign the pledge saying you will protect voting rights and fight extremism. Sign the Pledge Working people are not willing to cede American democracy to insurrectionists who try to overturn the will of the people. We will not sit back as the enemies of democracy pass voter suppression bills in 19 states since the 2020 election, targeting Black voters and other communities of color. And we will not be quiet as we watch corporations break the law to bust democratically elected unions, where workers voted for stronger protections and racial equity in the workplace. So in 2022, we’re pledging to advance democracy everywhere: in the workplace and at the ballot box. So join us. Sign the pledge to protect voting rights and commit to fighting extremism. |
