With cynical anticipation, many of us expect an “October Surprise” to sway voters into selecting the corporate-backed candidates that will continue to push for legislation that harms working families. America In Solidarity has their own surprise.

After three years of being a voice for working families in Washington State, America In Solidarity is spreading across the country. Rather than endorse candidates or playing the corporate game of raising money for candidates, America In Solidarity merely asks candidates that support working family values to sign their pledge and then helps organize volunteers to help their campaigns by participating in phonebanks, canvas walks and little things like waving yard signs and stuffing envelopes. Through their growing database of volunteers, America In Solidarity has been effective in mobilization efforts, education and lobbying while also staging community events, forums and providing nearly $7,000 in college scholarships.

To show that working families still matter, that providing affordable health care for all Americans is a vital issue, that fair and honest wages are needed, and that there are honorable politicians that care more about workers than corporate profits, America In Solidarity is launching “Our October Surprise.”

Our goal this October is to announce at least 31 new signees of the America In Solidarity pledge, add at least 31 new volunteers from each state to our database and raise $31,000 to support all the great things America In Solidarity does for working families.

“We see this as our opportunity to counter a political climate that thrives on fear and deception,” said America In Solidarity President and co-founder Todd Iverson. “After three years of becoming a political force in Washington State, we want this concept to go national. Most people can’t afford the $10,000-a-plate fundraisers, but everyone can find five hours to support those that stand up for working families.”
