Labor Organizations and Progressive Groups Team Up For Organizing Effort in PA
The campaign to defeat President Donald Trump has begun from this coalition of labor unions and progressive organizations in Pennsylvania.
Organizing Together 2020, which describes itself as a “community-based, volunteer-driven organizing campaign,” that consists of a number of labor unions and progressive organizations, has selected Pennsylvania as one of their six target states for the 2020 presidential election.
The group, who officially launched their campaign via a zoom call earlier this month, said that they plan on being present in each corner of the state in their effort to one term Trump.
“Good organizing takes time, so that’s why Organizing Together 2020 Pennsylvania is getting started in every corner of the Commonwealth this spring,” said Ashley McBride, State Lead for Organizing Together 2020 Pennsylvania. “From Philadelphia to Scranton to Erie County, we’re going to have a presence across all 67 counties so Pennsylvanians can get started volunteering, training and learning today. In this fight, we don’t have a single day to waste.”....
According to a release from their official Pennsylvania launch, 24 different labor groups and progressive organizations were apart of their first round of “state partners” including AFSCME District Council 13, American Federation of Teachers (AFT), PA United, Latino Victory Fund, LGBTQ Victory Fund, Planned Parenthood Votes, and more.
