We’re feeling inspired by the nearly 2,000 activists who sharpened their skills and shared their stories during the Health, Safety and Environment conference in Pittsburgh last week.

USW members know that Vice President Kamala Harris not only talks the talk but walks the walk. Xochitl Cobarruvias of Local 675 has crossed paths with Harris multiple times over the years in her fight for workers’ rights. “I believe that we need a woman who is capable of bringing our country to another level—and our workers and our families.
