The math is MATHING and the results are IN. 📈 Working people stood up and sent a clear, powerful message at the ballot box.

Candidates who prioritize workers—like Mamdani, Sherrill, and Spanberger—won BIG.

The power of a united front is undeniable.

Let's keep this momentum!

They separate us through ICE raids and mass incarceration, they gut medicaid and food stamps, and they even cut children’s school lunch programs and ban books. Our families, children, and communities deserve better.

We’ll see you in the streets ✊

In 2024, teachers earned 73 cents for every dollar their similarly educated peers made, on average—a record low.

In 1996, the gap was much smaller: teachers earned 94 cents for every dollar.

We need to pay teachers more! How? By investing in public education.

California gig drivers now have the RIGHT to form a union and negotiate with Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare companies.

#AB1340 is a gamechanger! Now gig drivers can bargain together for better working conditions and respect!

AB 715 has passed the Legislature and now heads to Gov. Newsom’s desk.

By anchoring enforcement to a politicized definition of antisemitism & inviting politically motivated complaints, AB 715 sets a dangerous precedent of censorship & erasure.

This Congress capitulates, strips away, and serves the wealthy few.

But the next Congress can be different.

The next Congress can defend immigrants, students,& faculty.

The next Congress can protect healthcare and academic freedom.

Choice is clear: put a ✔️ on fascism or accept it.
