David Sole, age 58, has been a
life-long anti-war and union activist. A member of the United Auto Workers
since 1971, he served on the Executive Board of UAW Local 15 until 1987,
when he was a victim of GM's plant closings. He became
President
of UAW Local 2334 in 1995 and continues to serve in that position to this
day.
During the historic and bitter Detroit newspaper strike during the 1990's, David served on the Steering Committee of the AFL-CIO's Labor, Community, Religious Coalition to Support the Strikers. He has walked picket lines in support of farmworkers, undocumented workers, and dozens of other unions over the years.
The Michigan Green's anti-war work includes organizing local, statewide, and national demonstrations, and he has been especially vocal and effective in support of the Palestinian peoples right to self-determination. David calls for immediate, unconditional U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan; ending U.S. aid to Israel; and a hands-off policy toward Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran. "Take the $300+ billion spent for the Iraq war, plus the $550 billion Pentagon budget, and use it to fund the needs of the people."
