“For construction workers, project certainty means paychecks, health care, and the ability to provide for their families. The real-world consequences of this stop work order are lost jobs, missed mortgage payments, and broken promises.”

Across the country, America’s unions peacefully stood in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta & showed that if you come for one of us, you come for all of us.

The labor movement will keep mobilizing until all our union siblings are home. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

We are urging @govofco.bsky.social to stand with Colorado's nurses, construction workers, and service employees, the people who power CO's economy every day, not billionaire CEOs and corporate consultants. Sign SB 5 into law! @patcrowley401.bsky.social @coloradoaflcio.bsky.social

It’s time to build again, America.

More homes = lower rent
More clean energy  = cheaper rates
New roads & bridges = stronger economy

We just launched the bipartisan Build America Caucus to bring that no-brainer message to Congress. Let’s get to work. 🏗️
