You're on the Air



Thanks to years of hard work by millions of activists like you, we have a majority in the U.S. House and Senate and a president-elect who aggressively supports the Employee Free Choice Act. Our chances of passing this bill are better than ever. But the business community knows this and has ramped up a massive $200 million lobbying and ad war against the Employee Free Choice Act.

Our political allies are feeling the heat. But we're not sitting quietly on the sidelines. We're staying on offense to make sure the corporate campaign of misinformation doesn't spread. That's where you come in. Check out these two new television ads that star you—America's workers. Then help us keep ads like this on the air.

American Rights at Work produced the ads on behalf of America's workers and partner organizations, including the AFL-CIO. Together, we're running this $3 million advertising campaign to educate the public and our legislators about the Employee Free Choice Act. When given the facts, 73 percent of Americans support the legislation to restore workers' freedom to bargain for a better life. So we've got to get those facts out.

We need your financial support urgently to keep ads like these on the air and to fight back against the $200 million anti-worker corporate campaign.

Together, we can win this fight and create an economy that works for everyone.

Thanks so much for your support.

In solidarity,

Marc Laitin
Online Mobilization Coordinator, AFL-CIO

P.S. We really do need your help. Please donate today to the Turn Around America Fund and help fight for America's workers.
