At the recent UAW bi-annual Political Conference in Washington D.C., the International Executive Board voted to endorse President Biden in his bid to be elected to a second term. President Fain explained the IEB’s reasoning for this choice in his speech to UAW members at the conference: “The question is, who do we want in that office to give us the best shot of winning? Of organizing. Of negotiating strong contracts. Of uniting the working class and winning our fair share once again.” 

However, while President Biden has a clear record of standing with workers in many respects, he is also an imperfect candidate for U.S. President, especially in light of his failure, to date, to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the inadequacy of his efforts to do away with student debt. The IEB voted to endorse Biden under the belief that working people will be able to push Biden further than any other candidate to act in accord with our vision of a strong, democratic, global working class movement, and with a commitment to continue pressuring him on these issues and more.

To aid in our efforts to hold President Biden accountable to our goal of uniting the working class and winning our fair share once again, at the National CAP Conference, Region 6 members decided to form a committee for members to plan and execute how we will do that. The first meeting will take place on zoom on March 12 from 6-7pm. Fill out your contact info below to receive a link closer to the meeting.
