Biden task force

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Labor Day traditionally marks the end of summer and during election years, the official kickoff of campaign season, as people begin to pay attention to political speeches, campaign debates, and taking stands on the issues. We’ve already built up a great deal of momentum leading up to this point, with Kamala Harris building a solid lead in the polls – though we should be working to bring it up a bit further – but it’s also a good point to reflect on how much we’ve already achieved under a Biden-Harris administration. President Biden was not only the first president in history to walk a picket line (as he did in Michigan), he also appointed Vice President Harris to chair the first White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment.

The task force has already taken over 70 different actions to encourage worker organizing and collective bargaining, with labor agreements on all major federal infrastructure projects. They’ve also taken measures to provide child care to union workers who need it and encouraged private sector employers to hire union workers. Their labor department has also secured considerable wins in both the UAW strike and the WGA strike that made headlines for much of last year, and averted what could have been a sizable UPS strike.

Never have we had an administration that was so labor friendly until we got Joe Biden in the White House, and we are in a good position to get someone who’s even more labor friendly. It’s time to get out the vote however we can – writing cards, phone banking or canvassing, and get Madam Vice President Kamala Harris elected on Nov 5 with a Democratic trifecta!
