Tell Greg Abbott: Hands off our free speech!

As Texas AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer-Elect Lorraine Montemayor said, we’re organizing, fighting, and building a bigger labor movement.

Texas workers will never back down against the bullies and the billionaires.

Solidarity forever! ✊🏽

Texas families are missing paychecks & SNAP benefits due to the Trump shutdown.

We’re also working with Feeding Texas so families get the support they need. Donate at bit.ly/txfam
