Proud to announce that @sanders.senate.gov is endorsing our campaign for Congress!

I worked with Bernie in 2020 for the same reasons I'm running now: to un-rig the economy and make it work for working people, not billionaires and corporations.

A better world is possible. Let's win this.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Two years ago yesterday, I was SO happy to see and hear Dr Goodall at Brooklyn’s Kings Theater. And for a spell, I became the little girl mesmerized by her presence, her vision and her call for humans to be better. The world needs more heroes like her. Rest well, Dr Jane Goodall.

This Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place.
Today, in a devastating setback for communities in the southland, SCOTUS granted the Trump administration’s request to resume its racist raids across Southern California while our case continues.

We’re prepared to continue fighting for our immigrant loved ones and the Constitution.

It's a sad & harmful day for patients & health care across the U.S., & its impact will reverberate for years. This bill moves us in the wrong direction. It will make it harder to access care & make patients sicker because the lifelines of Medicaid & CHIP are severed. http://spr.ly/633284mR2n

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody.

His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice."

Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

David is the kind of union leader we need - unapologetic in standing up for workers and our communities. Use your networks to bring light to injustice and stand with immigrant workers and brother Huerta! If they come for one of us, they come for all of us. #seiu #unionproud

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
