Freelancers Union

An incredible grassroots effort by the freelance community—making calls, knocking on doors, passing out literature, inventing creative strategies—helped push dozens of freelancer-endorsed candidates across the finish line. Way to go freelancers!

Members took the lead and crafted their own plans to register new freelancer voters in this first-of-its-kind grassroots campaign.

Freelancers Union waged an aggressive campaign for fair taxation—urging lawmakers to tax freelancers no less—and no more—than traditional employees. They heard our calls—and they responded, eliminating the UBT for those earning less than $100,000, and enacting a tax credit for freelancers earning up to $150,000.

Freelancers Union strongly supports the national effort to provide access to quality, affordable coverage for all independent workers. While health reform has passed, many aspects of the bill still need to be worked out. We will continue to insert freelancers' voice in the conversation and actively help to shape how reform plays out.
