    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Journalists from around the world flocked to a General Motors plant in Michigan on Tuesday to document President Biden’s unprecedented visit to the striking autoworkers’ picket line.

    Shakir founded More Perfect Union in February 2021 because he believed that both the media and liberal advocacy groups were failing to represent the struggles of working-class life.

    Just a few months after it launched, More Perfect Union won a Sidney Award for its intensive three-week coverage of the Frito-Lay strike, which generated more than 4 million views.

    “All this administration has to do is say it sees these workers and applauds them — and they’re not doing it,” Shakir told The Post at the time, suggesting that the White House should invite union organizers as often as it does CEOs of major corporations.

    While the administration rejected the idea that Biden had not embraced labor advocates, weeks later it invited union organizers to the White House.

    In her statement, Dunn said that collaborating with More Perfect Union means “we know the people who count — the workers of this nation — will hear the president’s message.”
