Congress is deliberating over imposing a contract on freight rail workers, the people who make America's economy run. We join rail workers—and all America's workers—in calling for paid sick leave for our essential workers.

All employees are entitled to the safest working environment possible—including NFL players. NFL Players Association (NFLPA) members should not have to work on fields that cause a higher rate of injuries.

We’ve already shown the power of union voters hitting the doors and the phones. Let’s re-elect Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is another champion for working families.

On Labor Day, we reflect on working people’s victories. We created better lives for ourselves and our families. We have safer workplaces and stronger economies.

That’s why unions are more popular this Labor Day than at any time in the past 50 years.

But this momentum didn’t happen by accident. Working people have been frustrated for decades—low wages, unsafe workplaces, unaffordable health care and a lack of respect on the job.

So we rose up and we organized. From Amazon warehouses to coffee shops to university campuses and beyond.

And now, we must do the same for our fundamental freedoms.

This Labor Day, we’re launching the largest organizing drive in history to protect our rights and freedom.

We pledge to fight corporate special interests and billionaire CEOs attacking our freedom to join a union.

We pledge to fight racist politicians trying to block our voices at the ballot box.

We pledge to fight any person putting bans on our bodies after the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

We pledge to fight. Will you join us?

If you’re someone who fights for freedom and rights, sign the pledge now.

On Tuesday, August 25, postal workers will take action across America with one clear message – #SaveThePostOffice.
