“When I was asked to speak in front of y’all, to inspire. Sisters, brothers, SIBLINGS: You have only to look at each other for inspiration!”

I meant that shit! Solidarity with the striking @sbworkersunited.org baristas all across the U.S. ✊🏾

15 baristas man this Farmer’s Branch Starbucks location. Waaayy more than 15 people formed the picket line shutting this location DOWN!

Thank you baristas for fighting and thank you community for showing the baristas what solidarity looks like!

We’ll be back! Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org

The baristas have HAD ENOUGH!

Multiple picket lines are forming in North Texas. Find your nearest location on SBWU socials.

Everything you’ve heard about the Meow Wolf experience is nothing without its workers. Meow Wolf workers with @cwaunion.bsky.social are ON STRIKE on Halloween!

Solidarity with the workers.. SHUT IT DOWN! ✊🏾👻

Legal aid workers with @uaw.org are fighting back layoffs of over 50 of attorneys & staff without explanation or severance. That type of behavior WILL NOT DO!

Honored to join legal aid workers as the workers fight back against corporate schemes to harm their membership! We will be back! ✊🏾

2 different union videos made this week, 2 different union struggles, and I spotted myself in both videos in the thick of it with the workers.

Whether it’s SBWU or UAW, whoever dares to form a union and fight for a 1st contract, I won’t be far behind supporting said workers! ✊🏾

Workers from Meow Wolf are organized with @cwaunion.bsky.social and are negotiating for a 1st contract. We joined the workers outside of Grapevine Mills Mall for an info picket on the same day Meow Wolf corporate heads are touring the location.

I found a spot on the line with young supporters! ✊🏾

The Global Sumud Flotilla is being abducted by the Israeli Navy as I record this. Livestreams of the international event are flooding TikTok. Another general strike has been called on in Italy in retaliation of the fate of the flotilla on October 3rd by Genoa dockworkers!

October is STRIKETOBER

It was October of 2021. During the summer, worker-led strikes were popping off all across the country, this being the biggest strikewave in decades. NBC News caught wind of an article chronicling my travels during this period, reached out, and I made it onto NBC’s Today Show

On this day 3 years ago, I flew up to join Philadelphia Museum of @afscme.bsky.social Philadelphia Art workers on strike, eventually winning a contract they deserved some days later.

This picket line had some memorable chants. “No contract, No peace. No contract, NO MATISSE! ✊🏾🔥
