The Working Families Party is a political organization dedicated to building a multiracial party that represents working people in the United States. The party focuses on transforming the political system by challenging bigotry, corporate bailouts, and the 'business as usual' approach in politics. By creating a political home for people across various states, the WFP aims to promote progressive policies and elect transformational leaders who work for the majority rather than the privileged few. The organization is active in states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, and offers opportunities for individuals to get involved through membership, volunteering, and endorsements.
