"I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe.."

The more global solidarity we have the better. ✊

This is a nice and quick video on the very first POTUS to join the picket line on the side of workers. Hopefully this is the start of presidents walking the talk on supporting the working class especially after Biden intervened to prevent last year's railroad workers' strike.

Tomorrow Joe Biden will make history as the first to ever U.S. President to join picketers on their line. He will be walking with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union in Michigan.

This shows that his support for strikers goes beyond symbolism and political talk.

Vote for Democrats. Always.
