Last week I was in Rochester, MN for the AFSCME Council 65 convention. A highlight was when members described the impact of federal & state legislation on their workplaces, families & communities. Tell Congress: Fund public services! Lower healthcare costs! Protect federal workers! 1-888-981-9704.

Pittsburgh is a union town! It was great to be there with AFSCME Council 13 for the Labor Day Parade. The mighty green machine was out in force to support workers' rights, public services, and economic justice. #AFSCMEStrong #GetOrganized

This weekend I joined delegates at the NE Association of Public Employees/AFSCME 61 convention. They just came off a blitz where they reached hundreds of co-workers & highlighted improvements they won in their recent contract. They are fighting & winning on issues that matter in their workplaces!

Last month I stopped at OHSU in Portland, Oregon to rally with AFSCME Local 328 members in their fight for a fair contract. It was great to show solidarity for OHSU workers! @oregonafscme.bsky.social @afscmelocal328.bsky.social

At the end of June, I joined members of Washington State Council of County & City Employees/AFSCME Council 2 at their Convention in Vancouver, Washington. It was uplifting to hear about all the organizing, educating & union building that Council 2 leaders are doing, both in Washington and Idaho.

Our campaign to stop this terrible bill goes back to the U.S. House of Representatives. Same number, same message. Call your member of Congress at 202-559-1165 and to demand NO CUTS to Medicaid and public services to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy!

Last week I joined the fight for a fair contract for members of Local 3299 at the University of California. We took it to the streets of San Francisco & the Board of Regents meeting, where 20 of us were arrested for civil disobedience. Who runs UC? We run UC! #AFSCMEStrong @afscme3299.bsky.social
