Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says his Muslim faith shapes his progressive views. Speaking recently to faith leaders in Detroit, El-Sayed emphasized accountability and helping others. El-Sayed supports “Medicare for All” and highlights growing inequality and the responsibility of the wealthy. As progressive Democrats gain traction, some connect their economic policies with religious beliefs. Faith-driven economic initiatives extend beyond elections, with some organizations supporting workers' rights. These efforts are being seen across the country. Religious support for labor movements is not new, even if it has ebbed and flowed in the U.S. over the centuries.
