ICE at hotels has always been dirty. They don’t belong in our hotels, or Los Angeles, or America. As a rogue organization terrorizing our immigrant communities, we’re going to fight them at every step of the way.

Organizing matters.

Every meal served, bus bench installed, voter registered, harm reduction site hosted, public comment spoken matters.

Organize to make your neighbors' lives better and you'll win meaningful fights.

Across the country, grassroots candidates are beating out corporate-backed opponents in their local races. Why? Because they're talking about working class issues like rent control, food affordability, access to public transportation, and job access.

Happy Friday! What are you organizing your community for this weekend?

Justice abroad and justice at home are one fight.

Thousands of US law enforcement officials have trained with the IDF. Al companies sell the US military the same surveillance software as Israel.
Freedom for Palestine, freedom for the US, freedom for the world.

"Socialism will never work" they said, after checking out a book from the public library, then riding the public bus down the public road then sitting in the public park 🤔⁉️

Not too long ago, college was cheap, if not free. Tuition was *literally* created to prevent working class youth from getting educated.

Higher education should be free. If the US government can afford to give $850 BILLION to defense annually, it can afford school too.

The working class suffered before Trump. Immigrants suffered before Trump. Palestinians suffered before Trump. Disabled, Black, and Indigenous Americans all suffered before Trump.

Our organizing must undo more than one presidency.

Your ability to afford groceries this week shouldn't depend on the generosity of others – it should depend on your boss paying you a living wage.

End the tipped minimum wage.

Tipped Workers Don’t Need Tax Relief. They Need Real Wages.

Donald Trump’s No Tax on Tips policy is a major part of his appeal to working-class Americans. But tipping is itself a strange and flawed system invented to preserve inequality. Critics worry Trump’s policy will only intensify tipping culture.

You can thank unions for weekends, vacations, child labor laws, and more.

Talk to your coworkers, and soon you could be thanking your own union for wage increases, promotions, and workplace dignity.

Form a union. @organizeworkers.bsky.social can get you started.

Happy Labor Day! Today we're celebrating ALL workers, as well as the progress we've made thanks to unions, advocates, and rank-and-file workers.

America is built on workers, not billionaires. And together, workers can hold the power to win peace, justice, and equity for all ✊

Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married but its because the cost of living is so high and teacher pay is so low that neither of them can afford to live independently

Every day without action means more preventable deaths.

Experts agree that food alone will not save Gazans starving population.

Prolonged starvation damages organs and weakens immunity, and without medical supervision, reintroducing food can cause deadly complications.

Gazans need urgent treatment or they will die.

In June, Congress approved $30 million for the GHF, with $7 million already disbursed.

The additional funding move came even after USAID warned of “critical concerns” about GHF’s safety and oversight.

21 US Senators have called to end all US funding for GHF.

Since May, more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in their desperate attempts to get food from GHF sites.

Former GHF workers and witnesses say Israeli soldiers and US contractors have indiscriminately shot into crowds of starving civilians.

Before October 7, the UN operated about 400 sites across the Gaza Strip.

Now GHF only runs four ‘mega’ aid sites, all located near Southern Gaza, distributing insufficient amounts of aid in an I just first come, first serve model.

The GHF is a new, US- and Israeli-backed group created in May 2025 to take over food distribution from the UN in Gaza.

It is run by private US military contractors and operates with Israeli government oversight with no public accountability.

In March 2025, Israel blocked almost all humanitarian aid from going into Gaza, driving over 2 million people toward starvation. Almost half a million people, mostly children, currently face catastrophic hunger.

That’s when the GHF stepped in.
