Raising money is the hardest part of running. If you can’t raise enough, sometimes even our unions go with the guy with no labor record. If you believe in working-class leadership, chip in $12 to help Jackie win AD12 and tell your union siblings. www.jackie4assembly.com/donate

If you’ve ever gotten value from Union Drip, I’m asking you to help out.

My wife Jackie is a labor champion. But we won’t be taken seriously in her Assembly race without hitting our fundraising goal by June 30.

Can you pitch in $10, $25 or $100 today?

Pete Hegseth’s attack on Harvey Milk is an attack on organized labor and its allies.

Milk didn’t just fight for LGBTQ+ rights. He stood shoulder to shoulder with unions like the Teamsters.
Harvey Milk and Teamsters leader Allan Baird standing together at a 1974 campaign benefit dinner, symbolizing their historic alliance during the Coors boycott. Milk wears a suit and tie, smiling warmly, while Baird sits beside him, reflecting the growing coalition between LGBTQ+ activists and organized labor.

Spend millions learning how to talk to workers, or maybe just be the party that actually fights for them.
Screenshot of a news article from The Independent with the headline: “Democrats spending millions to learn how to speak to ‘American Men’ and win back the working class.” Below the headline is an image of a construction worker in a hard hat and orange safety pants, kneeling on the floor of a partially finished building. He is handling thick electrical cables with tools, surrounded by exposed brick, loose wiring, and a yellow toolbox—suggesting a worksite under renovation.

Finally got the chance to meet and chat with the legendary Dolores Huerta yesterday and it was truly an honor. At 95, her strength, clarity, and commitment to justice are as powerful as ever. I can only hope to carry a fraction of that wisdom and fire in the years ahead.
Myself seated next to Dolores Huerta. We are looking at each other and shaking hands.

Now we’re showing up for her—with $12 for CA AD 12.
She’s my wife, and she’s running to represent us.

Happy Mother’s Day—with timeless advice from Mother Jones: never marry a man too scared to join a union.
Black-and-white photo of labor leader Mother Jones wearing a large hat with a ribbon. Overlaid text reads: “Mother Jones, 1905, with some dating advice: ‘How a woman can degrade herself by marrying a measly man who does not dare to join a union is beyond my comprehension.’”

After reading this headline, I now consider the Pope's fit to be union drip.
Newly elected Pope Leo stands on a balcony at the Vatican, smiling and raising both hands in a gesture of blessing. He wears ornate papal vestments in red and gold. Two clergymen stand beside him, one holding a booklet with the papal seal. The headline above reads, “Why ‘Leo’? New pope shows support for workers, labor unions and unity” from the Los Angeles Times.

Politicians won't save us. Labor leaders won't save us. Our power lies in worker solidarity - united as one.

"Not Me, Us!" and "An injury to one is an injury to all!" fuel our collective fight for a world where everyone thrives. Join the movement! We have a world to win.

President Trump is eliminating thousands of federal jobs and enforcing cuts that negatively impact the most vulnerable members of our society, yet we do nothing. We should take inspiration from the French, who were protesting austerity measures nationwide earlier today.

Every union should be echoing this statement.
IUPAT Twitter post: There are nearly 3 million immigrants in the construction industry, and they deserve the same rights as all other workers. Our union stands with our immigrant members and all working people in this country — an injury to one is an injury to all.
