The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The union’s backing comes after a unanimous vote of the U.S. members of the AFM International Board, and what they see as the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to labor. This follows President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection and his subsequent endorsement of Harris.

The New York-based union represents professional instrumental musicians in orchestras, bands, clubs and theater, as well as musicians working on film, television, commercials, and sound recordings.
“The Federation joins with all Americans who want to see a nation that is united, that promotes inclusion and a vision for the future, and that honors and respects all of its citizens. The AFM proudly endorses Kamala Harris for president of the United States. For musicians concerned about protecting their rights against exploitation both intellectually and at work, ensuring the security of our pay, benefits, and retirement, Harris is the clear choice,” AFM International President Tino Gagliardi said in a statement.
IATSE, which represents more than 170,000 technicians, artisans and craftspersons in Hollywood and across the entertainment industry, endorsed Harris Monday as did The AFL-CIO, a federation of 60 unions, including the Department of Professional Employees, which counts Actors Equity, SAG-AFTRA, the Writers Guild of America East, AFM, IATSE and more as part of its own coalition. However, other individual entertainment unions have not yet come out with endorsements for Harris.
