This is how we do it. AFSCME DC47 President, April Gigetts getting in the good trouble and standing with all our union siblings fighting the oligarchy yesterday at the May Day rally in Philadelphia after Bernie Sanders' barn burner of a speech.

In a world of U Penns, be a Princeton: "'... I wanted to concentrate on strategic issues that are longer term for us, rather than trying to respond directly to the orders that are coming out of Washington,' said [Princeton University President, Christopher] Eisgruber" --Daily Princetonian 2/11/25
Princeton U president standing in front of a projection. The image is an orange oval with the expression "Keep Calm and Carry On." An image of a tiger's head, the school's mascot, sits atop the expression.

Happy Thanksgiving from Local 590 AFSCME. Thankful for all our siblings who fight every day to make things better for us all. Special shout out to our newest members. We are stronger because of you.

Union roll call. Post pics of you & your Union kicking ass & taking names. Here's one of me with some siblings taken during the unionization drive this summer. I'm 2nd from the back row, in green, fist raised, standing next to the guy holding the sign.

Proud of my AFSCME District Council. Excited for this cohort to join us.
Text of the post reads: "Union news! We are the union employees behind the Philadelphia Zoo. Our colleagues who build the Zoo’s LumiNature Winter Light Show are unionizing! Today, we formally filed cards for them to join us in @AFSCME District Council 47 Local 752" Text of the body of the post says the same thing but in different colors. There are also the logos for AFSCME District Council 47 and AFSCME Local 752 at the bottom.
