An educator, husband, father, and union member, Richard Dien Winfield has devoted his work to addressing societal problems. Seeing too many Americans denied dignity and economic security, Richard has supported striking workers, organized sugarcane laborers, and joined unionizing efforts at UGA, where he has taught for 35 years, inspiring students to seek truth and justice.
Richard knows now, more than ever, is our moment to address these issues - because we CAN enact laws that level the playing field and guarantee jobs at a fair wage, help us balance work and family, give us all access to quality healthcare, education, and housing, and allow us to finally overcome the disadvantages people face based on race, gender, and sexual orientation.
