The WGA West’s political action committee has endorsed Joe Biden for president and Kamala Harris for vice president. The guild’s Pac joins entertainment industry unions IATSE, the American Federation of Musicians, and Actors’ Equity in endorsing the Democratic challengers to President Donald Trump and VP Mike Pence.
The WGA West Pac is also supporting the re-election of seven incumbent Democratic U.S. Senators: Cory Booker (NJ), Dick Durbin (Il), Doug Jones (Al), Ed Markey (Ma), Jeanne Shaheen (Nh), Tina Smith (Mn), and Gary Peters (Mi). The Pac is also supporting the election of nine Senate challengers — all Democrats –including Jaime Harrison (Sc), Steve Bullock (Mt), Cal Cunningham (Nc), Mike Espy (Ms), Sara Gideon (Me), Theresa Greenfield (Ia), Mj Hegar (TX), Jon Ossoff (Ga) and Raphael Warnock (Ga).
The Pac says its senatorial endorsements were made “with the goal of flipping the Senate to a pro-writer and pro-union majority.

Michael Schur, creator of The Good Place and Parks and Recreation, is urging his fellow writers to donate to the WGA West’s political action committee to help “flip the Senate and bring in bold leaders who will check the power of the Supreme Court.”
“You undoubtedly already know how far Mitch McConnell and the party of Trump will go to enshrine their far-right agenda,” he said in a message sent out today to the guild’s members. “Now is the time to counter power with power.”
He added: “Your Wgaw Pac is putting its might behind candidates like Theresa Greenfield in Iowa, Steve Bullock in Montana, Cal Cunningham in North Carolina, and Jon Ossoff in Georgia – candidates looking to unseat the same Senators intent on replacing Justice Ginsburg before the November election. These are very close races, where our Wgaw Pac contribution travels far. These candidates, like established allies Cory Booker and Pramila Jayapal,...

Climate and social justice advocates have long worked to connect the dots between flows of big money and the main players propping up the fossil fuel economy. As the climate movement pulls at the threads of old power structures, it’s found that the villains of the climate crisis are a wider network than you might imagine.

As primary season continues, troubling questions and palpable dismay linger on the minds of many voters. The same tired fights of 2016 are playing out yet again four years later, as Donald Trump’s approval rating creeps higher while the Democratic unity looks like a pipe dream. Defeating Trump was always going to require a once-in-a-generation campaign. Now, it’s beginning to feel like Trump could run away with this thing. What happened?
