UNITE在这里得到了广泛的认可, decades-long track record organizing the people progressives need to vote. And while COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on our members—with 98% laid off during the Spring 2020 peak of the pandemic and a slow recovery anticipated for the hospitality industry—during the 2020 presidential election 团结在这里 ran the largest union door-to-door canvassing operation in the United States.
