Over the past several weeks, UAW members and others in our broader community have increasingly been building discussions concerning the Trump administration’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the November election. We’ve joined with our labor community in King County in committing to take united action as necessary to protect our democracy — particularly given the intersecting and continuing fight against anti-Black racism and the ongoing COVID economic and health crises.
At this point, there’s a lot about the next few weeks that’s unpredictable, and the results of the election are unlikely to be finalized on Election Day. Regardless of what happens, our power to respond quickly to support each other and our broader communities comes — as always — from strong member-to-member organizing in every department. For more information, resources, and opportunities to get involved, check out the info below or get in touch with our Election Response Work Group.
