Worker Power started in 2012 as CASE Action Fund and conducted our first partisan electoral campaign, “Adios Arpaio.” We mobilized more than 4,000 volunteers—most of them high-school students—who collected more than 35,000 voter registrations to unseat the anti-immigrant Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio barely survived that election, and Worker Power and our partner organizations defeated him in 2016.

​

In 2018, Worker Power led Arizona’s most extensive independent expenditure field campaign and helped elect pro-worker candidates to statewide office for the first time in a decade. ​

In 2020, Worker Power knocked on 750,000 doors to help elect President Joe Biden and Senator Mark Kelly in Arizona. In Georgia, we knocked on an additional 550,000 doors to flip the U.S. Senate. When few others dared, our canvassers put on masks, hit the pavement, and turned out the vote.  

In 2022, our organizers and canvassers registered more than 10,000 voters and knocked on more than 750,000 doors in Arizona and 300,000 in Georgia, primarily among voters in low-income, BIPOC-dense neighborhoods. 

Today, Worker Power remains committed to continue building on our successes and transforming the social and political realities for working families in Arizona while sharing our approach and core capacity across the United States to make a national impact on the living conditions of working-class families.
