Our positions on the critical issues facing workers and communities today.
As Workers Against Oppression, we stand against all injustices facing the workers of the world. We stand in solidarity with all those facing oppression — be it racial, economic, or international. These are our positions.
We believe every worker deserves dignity, safety, and fair compensation. We support the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to a workplace free from exploitation. Unions are not a relic of the past — they are essential to protecting workers from exploitation in an economy that increasingly prioritizes profit over people.
We advocate for a livable minimum wage that reflects the true cost of living, not a poverty wage that forces workers to choose between rent and food. We oppose wage theft, unsafe working conditions, and the erosion of labor protections.
We stand strongly against the vast economic disparity the people of America face. We believe programs such as D.E.I, FAFSA, Affirmative Action, and a livable minimum wage must be reinforced to create more equitable living conditions for the working class.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few while millions struggle is not a natural outcome — it is a policy choice. We advocate for progressive taxation, accessible healthcare, affordable housing, and an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.
Strong communities are the foundation of a just society. We believe in accessible healthcare, quality public education, affordable housing, food security, and mental health support for all. These are not privileges — they are rights.
We work to connect people in Washtenaw County with the resources they need and advocate for policies that strengthen the social safety net. No one should go hungry, lack shelter, or be unable to access mental health care because of their income or background.
We defend the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the Constitution — the right to peaceful assembly, free speech, free press, and the right to petition the government. These rights are not negotiable, especially for marginalized communities who are often the first to have them threatened.
We oppose mass surveillance, police militarization, and the criminalization of protest. We stand with all people fighting for their civil liberties, including immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, and religious minorities.
We stand in solidarity with all racial groups facing persecution. All people, no matter the background, deserve to be valued by our society. We oppose all forms of racial discrimination and work to dismantle systemic racism in our communities, institutions, and policies.
We stand with oppressed workers and communities across the globe. We oppose imperialism, unjust military interventions, and foreign policies that prioritize corporate interests over human lives. International solidarity is not optional — it is essential. The struggles of workers in one country are connected to the struggles of workers everywhere.
