UAW Endorses Kamala Harris for President in New Video

DETROIT – The UAW released a new video today endorsing Kamala Harris for President of the United States. The video contrasts Donald Trump, described as a scab and a billionaire's ally, with Kamala Harris, who supports working people and has walked a picket line. The media is invited to use the video on the union’s Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Twitter account.

UAW President Shawn Fain narrates, “Whether at the workplace, or at the ballot box, we’re done falling behind. We’re ready to stand up.”

“In 2024, we’ve got a choice. We can put a billionaire back in office and let him and his buddies get even richer. Or we can elect someone who’s ready to stand with us and has walked a picket line.”

On Wednesday, the UAW International Executive Board endorsed Kamala Harris for President and will join her for a mass rally in Detroit on August 7th, followed by a visit with UAW members.

The video’s full transcript is available here:

Look around you.
We live in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
We’ve got enough food for every plate.
Enough doctors for every patient.
And enough jobs for every family.
So why do working class Americans have to scrape to get by paycheck to paycheck?

Everything the working class has ever won, we’ve had to fight for.
And every time we win an inch, the billionaires want to take back a mile.
Whether at the workplace, or at the ballot box.
We’re done falling behind. We’re ready to stand up.
And we need a President who’s ready to stand with us.

In 2024, we’ve got a choice.
We can put a billionaire back in office
and let him and his buddies get even richer.

Or we can elect someone who’s ready to stand with us.
Someone who’s walked a picket line.
Someone who’s on our side.

We know which side we’re on.
We’re voting for Kamala Harris in 2024
Because she’s walked the walk.
Because she supports working class people when we fight for more.
And because we don’t need another billionaire in the White House.
Donald Trump is no friend of the working class.
Donald Trump is a scab.
I’m a UAW member, and I’m voting for Kamala Harris for President.
