Meet The People's Slate - Our 2022 Candidates

People’s Action is endorsing more than 100 local, county, state and federal candidates for the 2022 general election.

These endorsements are part of a People’s Action strategy to build people power and elect movement champions who will co-govern with our working-class members.

These candidates join the hundreds of People’s Action-endorsed candidates who are already serving in office at every level of government.

There’s a whole set of rising stars on this list. All are essential to winning real change in every neighborhood in the country.

Each candidate is endorsed by one or more organizations that are part of People’s Action’s national network of 38 affiliate groups in 28 states.

“People’s Slate candidates come from the multiracial working class, and will fight for our members, not greedy elites,” says Marta Popadiak, People’s Action’s Interim Deputy Director of Movement Politics.

The People’s Slate is just a taste of the 378 races in which People’s Action members are throwing down during the 2022 cycle.

These candidates run movement-politics, people-powered campaigns and will work to advance the People’s Platform once in office.

All across the country, People’s Action members and candidates are reaching out across race, place and background to build a bigger ‘we,’ with our Long-Term Agenda in mind.

“We’re proud to back candidates who are building a people’s movement, instead of a personal brand or doing the bidding of rich corporations,” says Popadiak.
