Normalize calling Republicans out on their BS. Climate activist Will Lawrence is running to flip a key district in Michigan, and he's got the GOP nervous.

Abdul El-Sayed summed up his debate with Mike Rogers perfectly. "I told you what this debate was gonna be: him pointing at me and saying all kinds of foreign names or talking about himself. I'm interested in YOU."

Randy Villegas in California should really get more attention. "Unlike my opponent, I don't don't bend the knee to any party, any president, any special interest, because the only people I wanna be accountable are people like you watching here at home "

The general elections are coming up fast. Republicans have money on their side, but our primary wins showed that working people are paying attention.
Excerpt from Washington Sun article in which Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party, argues that people don't trust AI, are looking for leadership, and WFP will fill that void.

Politicians from both major parties made big promises to communities about data centers. What people actually got: higher energy bills, massive water use, and more carbon pollution. Working people made their anger clear at the ballot box, with major primary election shakeups.
Washington Sun headline. Progressives plan to capitalize on the AI backlash. The Working Families Party wants to pivot to focusing on AI as the technology becomes a defining issue.

Working class voters don’t trust AI (for good reason). In a recent survey, - 73% worry AI would lead to job losses across the US - 58% believe AI will hurt working class families in the next 5 years - 64% want the government to step in to protect workers if corporations use AI to replace workers
Democrats are missing a huge opportunity to win working-class voters. A new poll shows that these Americans are worried that AI will eliminate their jobs—and they want the government to do something about it

Whether we're up against Republicans bowing to Trump and his billionaire friends, or corporate Democrats selling out working people to please their wealthy donors... Across the country, we're electing leaders up and down the ballot to take back power for the people.
Hello there. We're the Working Families Party, a political third party organizing inside, outside, and on top of the two-party system in the United States. We take on elections from city council to U.S. Senate — wherever there's a path to win, and where winning will advance an agenda that supports everyday working people. Comment 'joinWFP' or visit the link in our bio for ways to get involved and support our movement to build a nation that works for all of us.

This is how the super rich rig the system in their favor. How we end up with with a government of billionaires, for billionaires. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Meanwhile, the median American's net worth was $192,700 in 2022. 192,700 seconds ago? Just 2 days ago.
Net worth is the total value of everything you own (cash, savings, car, property) minus everything you owe (like loans and debt).

AI billionaires are jacking up our energy bills, poisoning our air and water, endangering our kids, and putting people out of work. Now their own researchers are saying that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Post from Jacob Coxon. "I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below."

The Industrial Revolution transformed work with machines and factories. Now AI is transforming work again. The technology is different, but the question is familiar: Who benefits?
Fortune Magazine headline. With a $15 billion net worth, Palantir CEO Alex Karp predicts he will get 20x richer from AI — but that middle-class workers will get just modest raises.

So the government stepped in. In July of 1894, President Grover Cleveland sent in federal troops. Violence followed. Workers were killed, union leaders were arrested, and the strike was crushed.

When the economy crashed in 1893, Pullman cut wages and jobs without lowering rent or prices in the company town. He refused to negotiate with struggling workers, so they went on strike. Rail workers across the country joined in solidarity, threatening the national economy.

Enter: Pullman, Illinois. A town built by the Pullman Company to support its railroad car factory. The company owned almost everything. Rents generated profit for the company. And workers had little control over how their community was governed.

At least 10,000 marchers risked their jobs to fight for an 8-hour workday and an end to oppressive working conditions. But the fight didn’t end with a parade. Twelve years later, workers would go from marching in the streets to shutting down railroads across the country.

It’s the late 1800s. The American Industrial Revolution is in full swing. Many people were working 12 hour days, 7 days a week in demanding and dangerous jobs for very little pay. Outrage over these conditions led to a march in New York City in September of 1882.
