The United Farm Workers labor union is endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024. The union on Tuesday said the Democratic president has proven throughout his life that he's an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.
The farm workers’ union endorsed Biden in 2020 over Republican President, who leads the field of GOP candidates vying for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination and the chance to challenge Biden.
Julie Rodriguez said in a written statement that the UFW’s organizing has always been about fighting injustice and supporting working people, values that she said are at stake in the election. “Some of my most cherished conversations with President Biden have been about the legacy of my grandfather and the organizing power of the UFW, because Joe Biden is a real fighter for workers, for Latinos, and for every human’s dignity,” said Chavez Rodriguez. She was a top White House adviser to Biden before he named her as campaign manager earlier this year.
The union said it will organize, train and dispatch skilled organizers and Spanish-speaking members to key states, including Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Michigan and Georgia, as it did in 2020.
