Overview

Mission

Until we founded our union, campaign workers routinely worked more than twice the standard workweek for less than minimum wage and no healthcare benefits. We sacrificed our health, financial security, and leisure time to support candidates and movements that we hoped will make our society more prosperous, equitable, and inclusive, but our employers do not always live up to the values they often publicly espouse. We stood together and founded the campaign workers guild in order to protect and strengthen the rights of campaign workers.

What it reported doing in 2025

The campaign workers guild organizes workers on campaigns, political nonprofit organizations, and political firms. We support workers during the organizing stage, bargain contracts, and represent workers. This program includes our legal fees, bank fees, and subscriptions to run our union.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
