@ucwva.bsky.social showed up for pro-labor candidates in southwest VA this weekend! We've endorsed @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social for the 41st House District, and UCWVA member Darryl Campbell for Town Council. It's an honor to be part of expanding democratic participation. #CampusWorkers4Democracy

For campus workers across Virginia, I encourage you to join your union. Together, we can defend democracy. Ucwva.org/join-us

1000 people doesn't just happen--this took incredible collaboration between UCWVA-UVA and @aaup.org, as well as Wahoos4UVA, UVA Undergrad Student Council, Professors emeriti of UVA, UndocUVA, and UVA chapters of the National Campus Jewish Alliance, Rise Up, Indivisible, and Jewish Voice for Peace.

I could not be more proud of UCWVA-UVA, the founding chapter of @ucwva, and in particular the UVA Faculty Committee. Anyone who knows UVA knows that its rejection of the compact was not a foregone conclusion. And the stakes could not be higher. Academic freedom is a cornerstone of democracy.

I stand w/ @samrasoul.bsky.social! Not only because he has a track record of standing with us, not only because of his willingness to fight powerful moneyed interests, but also because Sam is right to call attention to genocide. The moral bankruptcy of focusing on semantics should be self evident.

At city council protesting the violation of the Richmond Education Association’s collective bargaining agreement. If they can violate theirs then theycan violate ours!

Today, I joined Spanberger, as she announced support for collective bargaining rights in Virginia.

“The only thing capable of defeating Trump is a movement for democratization. We will all benefit when campus workers have a democratic voice through collective bargaining.”
