We don’t have to put up with a small group of billionaires and corporations running the show.

Happy Labor Day!
Today is a chance for us to honor the hardworking people who fought for the protections we rely on—from the 40-hour workweek and the minimum wage to basic workplace safeguards.
We also know we still have a long way to go before our work is finished. For too many families, the promise of the middle class is slipping away. People who work hard and play by the rules shouldn’t have their budgets stretched thin just to afford the basics.
Your job should allow you to put food on the table and keep a roof over your head. We should have affordable child care so young people don’t have to choose between starting a family or having a career. And healthcare must be guaranteed for all, so no one is denied care when they need it.
Here’s what I want you to remember this Labor Day: we can win these things if we build a movement strong enough to demand them. We don’t have to put up with a small group of billionaires and corporations running the show. Our government can, and should, work for working people.
This year, I’m focused on electing candidates who will prioritize the needs of working families in Washington. But to help them win, I need you in this fight.
Can you donate $5 to help us support candidates who will make life better for working people?
