Working Families Party
Updated: Wikipedia source
The Working Families Party (WFP) is a progressive minor political party in the United States. Founded in New York in 1998, it has active chapters in nearly two dozen states. The Working Families Party was first organized in 1998 by a coalition of labor unions, community organizations, members of the now-inactive national New Party, and a variety of advocacy groups such as Citizen Action of New York and ACORN: the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The party is primarily concerned with healthcare reform, raising the minimum wage, universal paid sick days, addressing student debt, progressive taxation, public education, energy, and environmental reform.
