Communicating with union members about why the economy isn’t working for most of us doesn’t have to be complicated. Most people understand because they’re living it.

The underlying message is simple. It doesn’t have to be this way. Our economic plight is due to decisions made by policymakers and their Wall Street cronies. Complaining about it won’t change a thing. Action will.

We can change things by mobilizing like never before. With the force of millions of working families voting for the “working families agenda,” we can transform the political landscape. We can take back the White House and elect pro-worker legislators in Congress and at the state and local levels.

Get the materials you need to educate your members and train them to carry the message further out.
