The ads are part of SEIU’s $150 million investment this election cycle.

The Service Employees International Union released its first independent expenditure ads on Wednesday to encourage minority voters to support presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

The ads,  “Joe Biden: It’s About Us” and “Joe Biden: Integrity. Strength. Compassion,” will run in six presidential battleground states and are part of SEIU’s $150 million investment this election cycle.

“SEIU’s investment is large enough to directly impact election results, as this key segment of the electorate is larger than Trump’s ‘16 margins in key battleground states,” the union said in a press release.

The ads depict Biden as “the right leader to help our country turn the page”  on the variety of painful issues Americans are experiencing today – from economic suffering brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic to those battling systematic racism. The ads also feature a voiceover from Biden addressing the many issues.

“If I’m elected your President, I’m going to make progress on civil rights, voting rights, women’s right to choose, healthcare, an economy that rewards work — not just wealth.”

The ads end with Biden saying, “This job is not about me. It’s about you. It’s about us.”

The union said they will run pro-Biden ads through Election Day. Notably, the union added the ads will support Biden, rather than attack President Donald Trump.

The union cited recent polling suggesting pro-Biden ads are more effective at shifting perspectives than anti-Trump ads. Moreover, the study showed that voters are interested in learning more about Biden’s personal story and political efforts for families.

The digital ads will run on streaming and social media platforms in Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“This is the largest ad campaign working to mobilize infrequent voters of color — voters who are key to winning in November and to the long-term possibility of progressive change,” the union said.

Here are the ads:

    How do you like Democrat Socialism? just like the third world isn’t it. Democrat Governor’s & Mayors ordering Police to stand down while the city is looted, burned. citizens beaten in the streets, monuments destroyed, police stations actually taken over and allowed to be occupied. Antifa and BLM (founder is Marxist) are the criminals behind this. Joe has recently stated that Police need to be defunded or “funds diverted.”

    Biden wants to “transform America” If you vote for Joe Biden, you are voting for Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren’s far left platform.. Joe will follow the radical left’s agenda or Joe won’t get the support (and he is of) Nancy Pelosi, Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Perez, Maxine Waters, Al Green, and llhan Omar. This is the core of the socialists leftist wing of the Democrat party and are firmly in charge not old , confused Joe Biden.He will be a puppet.

    Democrats want to make this election all about President Trump. NOT their platform & Goals and Joe Biden for obvious reasons.

    Democrat Platform & Goals:

    *Citizenship for 20 to 50 million illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients their families with a cost of billions.

    *Massive tax increases. All Democrat candidates have committed to tax increases of various amounts. Biden has stated he will raise taxes.

    *Sanctuary Cities & States. Joe Biden supports sanctuary cities.

    *Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Green new deal.(which would create massive unemployment, 100,000 jobs estimated in the transportation industry alone.) Joe Biden supports.

    *De-fund & terminate border patrol & ICE.

    *De-fund Police. “reimagin law enforcement” (the left’s new term.) Basically BLM is determining where your taxes go and it’s not to law enforcement. Biden recently stated his endorsement of “redirecting law enforcement finds.”

    *Free Healthcare for Illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients (taxpayer funded with one estimate at 52 trillion) Joe Biden endorsed.

    *Ending of all private / employer based health care. “Medicare for all”, Feds run everything.

    *Illegal Aliens eligible for welfare & food stamps. (Elizabeth Warren’s plan adopted) Endorsed by Biden.

    *Reparations for race’s harmed by Caucasians. Joe Biden committed to support Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations bill in the House. Basically a tax will be levied on all Caucasians in America. (you can’t make this stuff up)

    *Free college for all, including illegal aliens (taxpayer funded with estimates in the billions. Bernie Sanders plan adopted.

    *Decriminalization of illegal entry into our country.

    *Open Borders.

    *End all deportations of illegal aliens, if you get here, you stay. Bernie’s website calls it a “moratorium” on deportations.

    *Drivers Licenses for illegal aliens (already happening in states with Democrat leadership. Biden endorsed

    *Late term abortions up to 9 months.

    * Destruction and erasing our history.
