Another speaker to take the stage at the DNC last night was United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain.

Shawn Fain: “So, for us in the labor movement, it’s real simple: Kamala Harris is one of us. She’s a fighter for the working class. And Donald Trump is a scab!”

As the DNC got underway, hundreds of nurses from the University of Illinois Hospital stood on the picket line as they kicked off a weeklong strike just a few miles away from the convention center. The Illinois Nurses Association says UI Health has refused to address understaffing, unsafe working conditions and fair pay demands.
