Every story was different, but all of them unifying diverse suburban women around the visceral belief that every woman’s reproductive decisions must be her own., , And then came then came the IVF news out of Alabama that has our members reeling so we launched the engagement campaign "Save IVF and Birth Control". , , This followed the same pattern we saw beginning in the Spring of 2021 when RWB members began reporting disruptions at school board meetings - often from parents without kids in their districts. Suburban moms flocked to our trainings to unify in support of their kids, teachers, and public education. , , , There’s no question that suburban women want reproductive freedom and inclusive, high quality public schools. But because of an organizing gap, they are often drowned out by a small, loud, well-funded extremist minority.

Priority Issues: United for Respect (UFR), a national grassroots organization, is building a movement rooted in the innovation, power, and leadership of working people in retail, particularly women and BlPOC people. Spread across urban, rural, and suburban areas, retail workplaces employ 16 million people. Organizing and activating this multiracial, multi-generational workforce is critical to transforming workplaces, our economy, and democracy as our communities face increased polarization, the impact of a devastating global health pandemic, and economic recession. , , , UFR is uniquely positioned to reach, agitate, and mobilize this critical low wage worker base of dropoff voters, moving them to take action in their workplace to fight for better wages, access to healthcare and paid leave, safe and healthy working conditions, and ultimately a voice in workplace solutions and their communities. This key constituency’s fight for workplace democracy is the first step to a pathway in civic engagement and participation where they become trusted messengers and influencers among their peers, local communities, and elected officials. Their personal stories and testimony shape the narrative around public policy and legislation, delineating the bright line for politicians to choose between big corporations driving economic and democratic inequalities or working people. Combined, people working in retail low-wage jobs could transform our democracy by using the power of their 16,000,000 voices to decide elections in their local communities, statewide, and across the country. Our education and persuasion work focuses our RESPECT agenda that includes family sustaining wages, safe workplaces, and communities where working families can thrive. Our RESPECT agenda includes: , , , - Right to Organize, including expanding workers' rights to organize in their workplace, fight back against obstacles to organizing, especially retaliation in the workplace. , - Essential worker voice in decisions that impact their lives that increases worker power in the workplace and the ability to hold employers accountable., - Safe workplaces and communities, and more protection for worker people from injury and violence in the workplace., - Pay living wages, severance pay, and good work hours that improve economic security for workers through increased and reliable pay when working and after layoffs., - End invasive surveillance and harmful tech/automation that disrupt the trend of technological monitoring in the workplace and of our bodies. , - Comprehensive health benefits and paid family & medical leave. , - Tougher rules to protect workers from corporate greed that increase regulation to prevent corporations from exploiting financial rules that allow them to pursue profits at the expense of working people.
