Building on the success of Prop 50, UAW members in California are uniting to pass a bold new bond measure to raise $23 billion for scientific research. Trump has cut research funding -on everything from cancer treatment to wildfire recovery- by billions. Join the campaign to fight back: 11/10 in SF!

UAW 4121 is, imo, the most underestimated political organization in the city. They have decades of institutional experience organizing student workers for big wins against the UW, which is arguably more powerful than city hall. Wilson’s campaign is the first to really capture that energy, imo.

🧵 A coalition of labor unions, health care providers, schools, and religious organizations filed suit today to stop President Trump’s latest anti-immigration power grab: a sweeping executive action that slaps an unlawful new $100,000 price tag on every new H-1B application.
BREAKING: We’re suing to stop President Trump’s latest anti-immigration stunt that slapped a $100,000 price tag on every H-1B visa application.
This innovation ban has thrown U.S. employers that rely on H-1B to hire engineers, teachers, and doctors into chaos. This abuse of power must stop.
