Dr. Amy Acton is a fighter for working people, not big corporations and billionaires. That’s why UAW members are turning out for Amy Acton for Governor.

“The goal with the program is record youth turnout. Abdul has this unique and powerful ability to speak to students: to the issues that young people care about, to the values they want to see reflected in their government.” @thenation.com 📰 www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Jocelyn Benson is a true fighter. Michigan deserves a governor who's going to have our back in the tough fights ahead for higher wages, affordable healthcare, dignified retirement, and time off the job. That's why the UAW is all-in for Jocelyn Benson on November 3.

“The university has characterized itself to its community as making major progress in these negotiations and having a commitment to reaching a contract with us. That has not been our experience." 📰 www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Randy Villegas is running to represent CA-22 to be a voice for working people in the halls of Congress. His experience as a rank-and-file UAW member makes him uniquely qualified to do just that — and UAW members are out in force to send him to Washington. @villegas4congress.bsky.social

UAW Vice President Ryan Hiestand Statement on Toxic Spill in Toledo uaw.org/uaw-vice-pre...

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.
