People showed up today in Portland to say loud and clear: ICE does not belong in our workplaces. Union members and community allies took action at Target to demand 4th Amendment workplaces—where workers are protected, unlawful entry is denied, and dignity on the job is non-negotiable. #ICEout

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by doing more than remembering his words—we commit to advancing his vision. A vision of justice, dignity, & opportunity for working people. Through solidarity & collective action, we can build a future that truly delivers for all working families. ✊💜 #MLKDay

JPMorgan Chase rakes in billions while janitors at M Financial Plaza are told to accept less. That’s not “business”—that’s greed. We showed up in #PearlDistrict to demand what working people deserve: fair pay, real benefits, & respect on the job. #JusticeForJanitors #RaiseAmericaPDX

Hey JPMorgan Chase—clean up your mess. You’re making billions & squeezing janitors at M Financial Plaza. Our community showed up to say what should be obvious: pay fair wages, respect workers, & hire union janitors. The richest bank in the country can afford dignity. #JusticeForJanitors

This year, we showed up for each other—at the bargaining table, in the streets, at courthouses, food pantries, & beyond. Our worker solidarity remains as strong as ever—let that carry us into 2026 as we continue to do great things despite the odds. #HappyNewYear #UnionStrong

Happy Holidays—from our union family to yours. To all the essential workers in hospitals, halls, and streets during the holidays, thank you for keeping our communities safe and healthy by doing the important work you do. #HappyHolidays #WorkerSolidarity

Rather than pay their fair share, the ultra rich want us so busy fighting each other we don't notice how little they contribute. Only together can we can hold them accountable so everyone can thrive. #TaxTheRich #WorkerSolidarity

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we recognize Indigenous organizers, caregivers, educators & leaders who have powered movements for justice for years.

This work isn’t history — it’s happening right now. And as rights, culture, and truth face ongoing attacks, we stand united. 💜

Won't someone think of the *economy*!?!
They want us to spend money yet the ultrarich fight tooth and nail against paying their own workers fairly. No wonder no one's buying the new iphone. #TaxTheRich #PayUs #workmeme

Indigenous workers have shaped our labor & civil rights movements for generations, building power, defending dignity, & leading with vision. Today, as attacks on diversity grow louder, we stand together to protect history & continue the fight for justice. ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾

On Friday, members of our union Organizing Committee delivered a message to Portland Patrol management: "We're Forming Our Union!" Portland Patrol Safety Response Team members keep passengers safe on public transit and provide assistance to those in need.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment!

Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

This is bigger than politics. The Trump admin has disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil liberties, & slashed services—while enriching billionaires. This is an attack on all people—white, Black, brown, AAPI, citizen or not.

Billionaires ruining America as they:
✔️ Hoard our nation's wealth & try to convince us immigrants are somehow the reason things are unaffordable
✔️ Destroy safety nets for millions of families like food stamps, healthcare, & affordable housing
✔️ Attempt to bust our unions to line their pockets
October 11, 2025 at 5:20 PM
When workers come together across industries to form our unions, we can overcome the divisions pedaled by billionaires and build a better America. #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySeason
