POLITICAL ACTION
Worker Powered Autumn: 2024 Elections
UAW members across the Western States are spending Fall 2024 building political power to advance members’ issues and take on corporate greed: canvassing to elect pro-labor candidates and pass ballot initiatives, continuing the critical push for a ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel, building a worker-led green economy, passing legislation at the city and state levels, and more.

As a union, UAW members have always been invested in fighting for a more just future for all working people — both in our workplaces and beyond.
In Region 6, workers are building political power on many fronts. Currently over 80,000 workers are organizing new unions in our region to gain a stronger voice in the workplace and in society. Union members are organizing in support of pro-worker legislation and candidates at local, state, and federal levels during and beyond this election cycle. And together we are building a broad working class movement to realize our vision for social, economic, and climate justice.
Members of Region 6 have organized strategic political action to create more leverage to win organizing drives and strong contracts, and to advance the social and economic justice issues of our time. At the same time, members have also seen how political forces can create serious obstacles when politicians do not feel accountable to working people.
Region 6 members are taking this moment as a critical opportunity to build a renewed, fighting labor movement to win a system that prioritizes the needs of working people — including by taking bold political action.
Across sectors and states, more and more workers are refusing to accept the current broken system — one where ultra-wealthy CEOs and administrators amass millions of dollars and spend public money on war abroad, while working people struggle to get by.
As with everything we do as a union, our power to advance a bold progressive political agenda is only as strong as member participation. There are many ways you can get involved at the Local & Regional levels — fill out the form below to get connected.
