I love the @metmuseum.org. It enriches the lives of NY’ers and visitors from across the world.
That’s made possible by the people who make the Met run — the curators, educators and museum workers seeking to join @uaw.org
Congrats to Met Museum workers on filing for this historic union election!

Workers at The Met are trying to unionize, citing “long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads.” If they succeed, their union would be one of the largest museum unions in the US.
Met Museum Workers Push to Unionize
Staffers at the New York City institution have filed a petition for a union vote with the National Labor Relations Board.

Good morning everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds. This time with the correct link:

I know there’s a whole world on fire out there. It’s still a good time for me to tell you - we don’t do blue jolly ranchers around here. Don’t even have support groups for folks kicking the habit. As per Harriet Tubman’s email, we’re just leaving you behind.

Yeah. If you’re ever in Brooklyn near Weeksville, stop over at Kingsborough Houses. This restoration reminds me of what Marian Wright Edelman used to tell advocates often: “
Justice, yes - and beauty. Children deserve beauty.”
