Working Families Party

Fighting for an America that works for the many, not the few.

The Working Families Party is a grassroots political home for the workers who keep this country running — built state by state and community by community by people who look at bigotry, bailouts, and business as usual and ask: is that the best we can do? WFP recruits, trains, and elects everyday working people to office, and in 2026 launched Southern Made: Lead Where You Live — a drive to recruit 1,000 working-class candidates across the South.

What WFP Does

Southern Made: Lead Where You Live

A 2026 drive to recruit 1,000 working-class candidates across the South — nurses, teachers, drivers, and stewards running for the offices that shape their communities.

A Political Home for Workers

A member-driven party built by and for working people — not big donors or party insiders.

Endorsements Up & Down the Ballot

Recruiting and endorsing pro-worker candidates from school board to Congress — then organizing to win.

The Working Families Guarantee

A platform for the many: good jobs, affordable housing, healthcare, and fully funded public schools.

People-Powered, Not Big Money

Funded by small-dollar members so elected leaders answer to working families, not corporate PACs.

Solidarity With Labor

WFP stands with unions on picket lines and in policy fights — and backs workers who organize.

Why Union Members Should Know WFP

Every contract fight eventually runs into the question of who writes the laws — on organizing rights, wages, safety, and public jobs. WFP's answer is to put working people themselves on the ballot. Their Southern candidate recruitment drive means members reading this page — stewards, nurses, teachers, drivers — are exactly who they're looking for to run for school board, city council, and beyond.
