RWDSU ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
(NEW YORK, NY) – Today, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States. Stuart Appelbaum, President of the RWDSU issued the following statement:
“Kamala Harris believes in the promise of America - freedom, equality, opportunity and justice for all. She is exactly the person we need to be elected President of the United States. We know that she will fight for working people; and we proudly endorse Kamala Harris for President.
“Kamala Harris is the person best positioned to continue and expand the work of the most pro-union administration in our nation’s history. In four short years, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Biden-Harris administration have been able to reinvest trillions of dollars to rescue the economy, to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and to create opportunity in every community through the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the American Rescue Plan. They’ve taken action to protect and uplift workers at every turn.
“Kamala Harris is committed to building on that progress. When she spoke to the delegates at the RWDSU’s convention in 2022, she urged us to ‘keep organizing, keep marching and keep pushing forward’. She asked us to ‘continue our fight to make sure workers everywhere can succeed and thrive, because as we all know when workers succeed and thrive, our nation thrives.’
“Kamala Harris has the RWDSU’s resounding support to be the next President of the United States. We will do everything we can to help her get elected.”
