Due to this morning's announcement from the MLBPA about launching a campaign to create a union for Minor League baseball players, the Advocates for Minor Leaguers organization is spending operations, according to a tweet this morning.
Advocates for Minor Leaguers is a nonprofit founded in 2020 by former players Raul Jacobson, Ty Kelly, Matt Paré, longtime labor leader Bill Fletcher Jr., and others to provide a collective voice for Minor League baseball players. Minor League players endured exploitative working conditions for decades, including extremely low pay, without anyone on their side. Advocates for Minor Leaguers set out to change that. In less than two years, the organization has cemented its place in the baseball landscape and begun to win unprecedented victories for Minor League players.
