Rapid Response, Legislative and Policy Conference

July 12, 2026 - July 15, 2026

Rapid Response Conference Delivers Results!

New Cosponsors Added to Priority Legislation

During the 2026 Rapid Response Conference, you met with members of Congress and their staff to advocate for legislation that protects workers, strengthens our industries, and supports our communities. Those conversations continue to have an impact. Since the conference, several lawmakers have signed on as cosponsors to the bills you lobbied on. While there is still more work to do, these new cosponsors are an important step forward and a reminder that your advocacy makes a difference.

  • 12 new cosponsors for S. 4413 (usw.to/5px) / H.R. 3036 (usw.to/5pw), Protecting America’s Workers Act
  • 5 new cosponsors for S. 3462 (usw.to/5py) / H.R. 9415 (usw.to/5pz), Safeguarding American Families and Expanding (SAFE) Social Security Act
  • 4 new cosponsors for S. 3591 (usw.to/5pL) / H.R. 6960 (usw.to/5pN), Thomas M. Conway Veterans Access to Resources in the Workplace Act
