I pledge that soon I will buy a new, fuel-efficient car—built in America by United Auto Workers members.
I'm asking YOU to take this pledge with me and get others to do so, too.
If enough Americans take this pledge—and pass it on—we can revive our country's auto and manufacturing industries. And we can give a big boost to the workers and communities—and to our country—that depend on those crucial industries.
Click here to take the American auto revival pledge. On that page you can pledge that:
*Your next car will be manufactured in America.
*It will be more fuel-efficient than my last one.
*It will be made by UAW workers.
*You will only consider foreign cars built in the U.S. if the UAW represents their workers. (This is not the case at any of these "transplants," even companies with unions in their home countries.)
You can also pledge to sign the Petition for Auto-Supply Chain Jobs sponsored by the Alliance for American Manufacturing, the Mayors and Municipalities Automotive Coalition, and the United Steel Workers.
