“The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) works tirelessly to improve the lives of working people.
We are the democratic, voluntary federation of 65 national and international labor unions that represent nearly 15 million working people.
We strive to ensure all working people are treated fairly, with decent paychecks and benefits, safe jobs, dignity, and equal opportunities. We help people acquire valuable skills and job-readiness for the 21st century economy. In fact, we operate the largest training network outside the U.S. military.”
3.14 Action Fund
“We are the only organization in the nation focused on recruiting, training, and electing Democrats with a background in science to public office.
There isn’t an issue that doesn’t benefit from having scientists at the decision-making table – from climate change to reproductive healthcare, scientists are data-driven who will champion fact-based policies…
…Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters. We have seen time and again that science candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide if they have the resources to run a strong campaign operation.”
