Speaker Pelosi. It's my honor to be here with each and every one of you – to listen, to learn, to see in your experience how this can really work.

Dear Democratic Colleague,

Happy Labor Day! On this day, September 5th, 140 years ago, at the crescendo of the Industrial Revolution, 10,000 courageous workers took to the streets of New York City in what would become the very first Labor Day Parade. With the stroke of President Cleveland's pen twelve years later, our nation established a federal holiday to pay tribute to the hard-working men and women who make up the foundation of America's strength and prosperity.

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement to mark Labor Day:

"On Labor Day, our nation honors the skill, devotion and solidarity of the hard-working Americans who make up the heart of our economy and the foundation of our country's strength. This year, while marking the transformative achievements of America's labor movement throughout our history, we celebrate an organizing wave that is reaching workplaces across the nation – from coffee shops and warehouses to newsrooms and ballparks. Indeed, seven in ten non-union workers would consider organizing if given the opportunity – and House Democrats are committed to giving them that chance.

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the August jobs report, which showed that the U.S. created 315,000 jobs last month:

During the Biden Administration, our nation has powered record-setting job creation: helping millions of Americans get back to work, while empowering Americans to get off the sidelines and rejoin the workforce.

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after President Joe Biden addressed the need to defend Democracy from urgent threats posed by the extreme MAGA Republican Party:

Every American who cares about the integrity of our Democracy, the fairness of our economy, the safety of our communities and the health of our planet is grateful to the President for his values-based vision and patriotic leadership.
