Today, in 1919, Emiliano Zapata Salazar (August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was assassinated. To many, he was a practical revolutionary and realist with the goal of achieving political and economic emancipation of the peasants in southern Mexico and leading them out of severe poverty.

Confirmed: we are getting a vote on rent stabilization today. And on lot splitting!
Rent stabilization bill update: it's officially out of the Senate rules committee, meaning a floor vote can happen as soon as tomorrow.

113 years ago, 146 workers - mostly young immigrant women - lost their lives in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. They were trapped behind locked doors, treated as disposable.

We remember them by demanding safe, dignified work for all. Organizing is how we honor them.

Dismantling the Department of Education will leave kids behind, strain local budgets, and put good union jobs at risk. None of this makes sense for America’s working families.

Been trying my best to write an essay on how public sector unions are on the frontline of anti-fascism in the USA. Decided the topic in late December without realizing just how quickly and how many developments there’d be once trump was in office. Feeling overwhelmed 🫠

Prop 1A is all of our victory. Every single supporter played a critical role in this win. From those who doorknocked, made calls, hand wrote postcards, tabled, told 5 friends, or simply voted. Each of you should feel proud! We deserve a better world, and y’all are willing to fight for it.

SEATTLE: here's a voting guide from @fusewashington.org for next Tuesday's election and here's why it's important.

I got (and threw out) mailers from the mayor saying to support Prop 1B, but you want to vote for 1A. You can read the guide to learn why.
