United Farm Workers endorses Biden, says he's an 'authentic champion' for workers and their families

The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.

Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.

You don't see how fascism would be significantly worse for certain groups of people? LGBTQ, Jews, people of color, etc?

shhh the white straight "leftists" are explaining to us ungratefuls how it's not bigoted for them to hinge their helping to secure our rights on meeting their increasingly niche demands.

These folks never seem to have figured out that collective bargaining is meant to be a "punching up" move. Or that "working class solidarity" is a lot easier to achieve when the entire working class has a common experience to rally solidarity around as opposed to a lot of them wishing they only had working class experience problems to stress over.
