To All Affiliates,
Following President Biden’s historic decision on Sunday to graciously put his country first, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 race. After much careful consideration, the AFL-CIO Executive Council, which represents 60 unions and 12.5 million workers, voted yesterday to endorse Harris for President in the 2024 Election. At the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, we would like to thank the Executive Council for their swift leadership and guidance during this time. Please review the AFL-CIO’s press release on their endorsement of Kamala Harris below.
In Solidarity,
AFL-CIO Unanimously Endorses Kamala Harris for President
WASHINGTON—Following a vote of its Executive Council, which represents 60 unions and 12.5 million workers, yesterday the AFL-CIO unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election.
“From day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history,” said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. “At every step in her distinguished career in public office, she’s proven herself a principled and tenacious fighter for working people and a visionary leader we can count on. From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, she’s shown time and again that she’s on our side. With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build on the powerful legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.”
As Vice President, Harris:
Other highlights of Harris’ record in support of workers include the following:
“The AFL-CIO is proud of our early and steadfast support for the Biden-Harris administration, and now we’ll ratchet up our mass mobilization of union workers to elect Vice President Harris as president,” Shuler continued. “Like Harris, the labor movement doesn’t back down—and we’ll never shy away from a tough fight when the future of workers and unions is on the line. Together, we will defeat Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and their devastating anti-worker Project 2025 agenda in November.”
