National Writers Union
The National Writers Union is more than just another writers’ organization. It is the only labor union that represents freelance writers working in all genres, formats, and mediums.
Many of the present and former journalists for the American Party of Labor and the Red Phoenix are members of the NWU. As a Party we endorse their campaigns and actions and recognize them as a class-conscious labor union.

These include writers of diverse cultures, ethnicities, politics, religions and racial identities; writers of all ages and all sexual/gender orientations; writers with disabilities; and writers at all levels of economic and commercial success.
