These groups are hilarious. Four Our Future, In Union, Democracy for All, and now this new one I just joined with a name I forget.

They keep popping up with new names, but I am starting to get the feeling they are just the same entities laundering money or some shit. Even funnier, they are all anti union while canvassing (without saying so usually) for pro union candidates. In Union, of course, was the most aggressively anti union one I have been a part of. For Our Future had a union, but the hiring managers lied about the union and hoped people wouldn't find out. This new one I joined I swear is just Democracy for All with a different name.

I suspect these groups notice their employees trying to unionize. They realize it is a bad look when they fight a union while supporting a(n allegedly) pro union lib on the ballot. Then the next time they need to start canvassing they decide to have a new name so they can fight off the union again before shit gets real.

Thanks for reading my rant. This shit is infuriating and hard to track.

I worked for an environmentalist canvassing org in Texas for about a month but I didn't stay long enough to find out their stance on unions. I'm not cut out to spend all day getting yelled at by people threatening to call the cops on me for knocking on their door. Also I just kind of got a weird vibe from them overall.

It's always an environmentalist group
