Should Working-Class Politics Move Beyond the Democratic Party?
Join a Webinar featuring Shawn Fain, President of the United Automobile Workers
You are invited to join our webinar featuring Shawn Fain, the President of the UAW. It’s the coming out party for a new survey of 3,000 voters in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The report brings new insights into the difficulties facing the Democratic Party, the issues working people most care about, and why they (spoiler alert!) want a new political party. I am sure you will be interested and amazed at the findings.
The survey and report were created by the Center for Working-Class Politics, the Rutgers University’s LEARN labor education program, and the Labor Institute where I work, in cooperation with YouGov. Jacobin will be publishing the report in the near future. I’ll send along the link when it’s available.
Please register here and please share this invite as widely as you can. Many thanks.
Good point Will check it out
I understand that ideologically and I think you would say practically that working class candidates should not run as Democrats.
But here is the conundrum, there are at least two candidates that I thinks you would support - the oysterman running for US Senate in Maine and Bob Brooks, a Fire Fighter (IAFF), running for Congress in the Lehigh.
Should we be supporting them?
