Is More Perfect Union left or right?
More Perfect Union is a progressive nonprofit video-news organization founded in February 2021 by Faiz Shakir, who managed Bernie Sanders's 2020 presidential campaign and remains a senior Sanders adviser. Its orientation is economic-populist left: the outlet specializes in reporting on the labor movement, corporate accountability, and economic policy rather than culture-war or partisan horse-race coverage. It has grown into one of the fastest-growing left-leaning channels on YouTube, with roughly 30 staff and a budget around $10 million by 2026. In April 2026 it launched More Perfect University, a campus-organizing arm positioned as a progressive counterpart to Turning Point USA, and in 2025 it ran a national billboard campaign about federal staffing cuts in national parks.
