“The Trump Administration has come in with brute force, attacking working people and institutions from all angles. Its ’flood the zone’ strategy has left many feeling confused and powerless. But the MAGA forces are not unstoppable. Strong coalitions among labor and social movement organizations offer one of the best hopes for blocking the rise of white Christian nationalist forces and countering authoritarianism with progressive power. In fall 2023, United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain called for unions around the country to align their contracts to expire on May 1, 2028, to join the UAW in their next round of bargaining with the Big 3. This was in part a call for class solidarity, to bring workers together across unions, labor and social movements and geography. It was also an acknowledgment that some of the biggest demands that UAW members have — strong pensions and healthcare — cannot be won alone.” (03/14/25)
