New UAW Brings “Stand Up” Energy to Worksites and Targeted Battleground Communities in Mass Political Mobilization Campaign

On the one-year anniversary of the historic Stand Up Strike that led to record contracts for autoworkers at the Big Three, the UAW is kicking off its ambitious political campaign with the same bold organizing vision, mobilizing union members in key battleground states.

DETROIT—On the one-year anniversary of the Big Three Stand Up Strike, the United Auto Workers (UAW) is launching its bold 2024 political campaign to energize and activate tens of thousands of union members to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz and other UAW endorsed candidates in the upcoming election. 

On Saturday, September 14, thousands of UAW members will participate in a weekend of action in battleground states including Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Arizona. Drawing from the proven playbook that resulted in record contracts in 2023, the UAW’s “Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up” campaign will organize a massive field program, leveraging the strength of UAW members to challenge the billionaire class at the polls. 

The campaign will focus on one-on-one conversations between UAW workers and their families—at their workplaces, on their doorsteps, and on their phones—to speak directly about what’s at stake for working-class people in this election. Core issues include fighting for union rights and working families, affordable healthcare, retirement security, and lowering costs for all Americans.  

Programs will mobilize UAW support for Harris and other union-endorsed candidates who are crucial to winning back the House and keeping the Senate, including Rep. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan, Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and candidates in frontline House districts in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York. 

“One year ago, we took on corporate America on the picket line and put working class issues front and center, with the vast majority of Americans standing with us in our fight for economic and social justice,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “Today, we are taking that fight to the ballot box, speaking to our members, our families, and our communities to win once again big for the working class in this election.” 

A comprehensive list of UAW-endorsed candidates is available at UAWEndorsements.org. For more information, visit UAWStandUp2024.org.
