We won in an extraordinary sweep because our movement persuaded working-class Americans to turn their outrage into votes. Building on that must start today.

Following the 2026 midterm elections, UNITE HERE President Gwen Mills released the following statement:

This is a generational win, and if we want it to persist, workers need to organize on a whole different scale. This victory seemed impossible just a few months ago. People were outraged, yes. But we heard on the doors constantly that voters thought the system was broken. It took millions of organizing conversations on the doors, between friends and family and co-workers, to translate that anger and cynicism into an electoral earthquake. We are proud to have played a part in that effort, together with so many allies in the labor movement and beyond.

But unless we want the working-class vote to keep swinging back and forth each cycle, we have to grow unions everywhere. Work is the last place in the country where people who are different from each other still interact every day. Union workplaces are some of the only places where people who are different from each other stand together for what they need. That’s what we saw play out on a massive scale last night, as a completely new coalition rejected nightmarish economic conditions and immigration policy.
But this new formation needs something to fight for. This diverse coalition—with the working-class in its driver’s seat— will only hold together if we organize it.

UNITE HERE members knocked over 1.6 million doors in 2026 across Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Our work, which builds actual relationships between voters and organizers, between workers and other workers, only succeeds because it happens year-round, not just in the heat of an election.
