When we invest in housing, health care, and jobs, we build a future where we all thrive.

Together across race, background, and gender, we keep each other safe by addressing the root causes of harm.

With @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory in the NYC mayoral election, we wanted to re-share some important lessons for all of us organizing for a brighter future for all, no exceptions.

What are other lessons on narrative and messaging that you’re taking away from the campaign?
Blue background with large header text: “LEADING WITH VALUES” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign is relentless about what his candidacy is about: Affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life for all. When people tried to pull him off of this values-based message, he did not take the bait. Instead, he provided a concise, direct response and pivoted quickly to the future-forward values central to his platform. Mamdani reminds us that we don’t have to give more airtime to our opponents; instead, we should be proactive with our values and our messages.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 3 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “USING SIMPLE LANGUAGE” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign platform was chock full of simple, straightforward, and repeatable language. Too often, candidates lead with detailed policy plans. But instead of going that route, Mamdani talked about free childcare, fast and free buses, freezing the rent, and city-owned grocery stores. This made his platform instantly recognizable and repeatable by millions of New Yorkers, allowing his central message of affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life to spread beyond the reach of his campaign team.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 4 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “EMPLOYING CREATIVE TACTICS” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s opposition often derided his campaign’s use of video. But what they failed to see was that his campaign was using video, social media, and more broadly, the culture to energize his base of supporters, who were more likely to see, click on, and spread his content online. We also applaud the times when he spoke Spanish, Arabic, or Hindi in videos, which showed New Yorkers across races, languages, and origins that they too belong and are a part of the future of New York City.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 5 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “CENTERING ORGANIZING” Body text reads: “The Mamdani campaign didn’t just go for clicks and likes; they translated that digital engagement into on-the-ground organizing efforts, canvassing neighborhoods across the boroughs. We also know that Mamdani’s campaign platform was built upon decades of organizing, particularly in neighborhoods of color, by groups like CAAAV, Desis Rising Up & Moving, NY Communities for Change, and many more. It’s a reminder that we cannot have a sharp, winning narrative strategy without a disciplined organizing strategy that builds power from the ground-up.”

The MAGA regime is letting big corporate polluters poison our air, land & water for profit.

But united across race and place, we can fight for clean air & water, green jobs, and a future where all of us can thrive.

He’s labeled “GREEDY POLITICIANS” and responds: “I know this, and I love you.”

This rebrand of the Daily Mail by @everyonehateselon.bsky.social fits so well w/ our current moment.

The MAGA regime wants us the point the finger at each other — blaming Black, brown, trans, queer, Native & new Americans — while their billionaire bullies steal the wealth our work creates.
Photo of a fake newspaper front page styled like the Daily Mail. The masthead reads: “Daily Mail – New True Edition.” The bold headline says: “WE BLAME MIGRANTS SO YOU DON’T BLAME BILLIONAIRES.” Subheadline: “Revealed: we want you looking the other way while our super-rich mates rob you blind.” A red box labeled “EXCLUSIVE” is followed by fake article text, which satirically admits that the paper blames migrants to distract readers from wealthy elites who avoid taxes, pollute, and exploit workers.

🎃 Happy Halloween!

Don't fall for the MAGA regime’s tricks. They use racism, hate & fear to harm us all.

But we’ve got the treat: People coming together to call out the villains, expose their hateful agenda and fight for a future where we all have the freedom to thrive.

Panel 1: Fred and the gang face a masked villain with the caption: “WHO IS STEALING THE WEALTH THAT OUR WORK CREATES?” Panel 2: Fred unmasks the villain, revealing a note that says: “USING HATE, RACISM, AND FEAR SO WE POINT THE FINGERS AT EACH OTHER” Panel 3: The mask is off, revealing the real culprit labeled: “THE MAGA REGIME”

This short video from @fundmifuture.bsky.social is great at focusing on what our taxes pay for, including sidewalks, roads, and school buses.

When billionaires finally pay what they owe in taxes, we can fund the care, support, and services that our families need.

Blue background with white and bold text. Heading reads: “FULL NARRATIVE: Freedom to be Ourselves” Body text reads: “Black, white or brown, Native or newcomer, transgender or not — Americans won’t let anyone dim our light. That’s why young people and families are speaking out in support of transgender youth, taking on the MAGA regime and their billionaire backers who single people out to bully so they can put themselves on top — banning books, denying medical care, and passing laws controlling who we can be and love.” Continuation of the previous narrative on a solid blue background. Heading reads: “FULL NARRATIVE: Freedom to be Ourselves” Body text: “By joining together as we have done before to pass protections against discrimination, we can light the way to a better future, where people of all races, genders, and backgrounds are free to be ourselves and thrive.” Centered text at the bottom: “[Add Call to Action]”

Together we must name the villains.

We must expose their playbook of fear, division, and distraction.

And we must use social proof to bring more people into the fight for a future where we all have the freedom to thrive.

Text at the top reads: “When writing messaging, you should always name Villains, their motivation, and how they use strategic racism, transphobia and/or scapegoating to divide us while they harm us all.” A large speech bubble next to the skeleton reads: “We need to take on the MAGA regime and their billionaire backers who single people out to bully so they can put themselves on top.” Bottom-left text: “Source: We Make the Future Action, Guide to Messaging Our Freedoms” Bottom-right: Three arrows and the phrase “Swipe Right” Illustration of a vampire and a werewolf on a blue background. Text at the top reads: “Without naming a villain, our opposition’s storyline that some ‘other’ is the villain goes unchecked, allowing their falsehoods to become the prevailing narrative.” Text at the bottom reads: “Unlike our opposition, we define villains by their actions, not their identity — creating the opportunity for them to come join our side at any time if they stop harming our communities.” Illustration of three children trick-or-treating — dressed as a black cat, a witch, and a pumpkin-headed ghost — walking together with candy buckets. Two speech bubbles above them read: “We are speaking out.” “Families around the country are taking action.” Top text reads: “A powerful tool to employ is social proof — the phenomenon that people naturally want to be part of what is going on around them. When we show our audience that a desired behavior is ‘in,’ they are more likely to participate in that behavior.”

🎃 This Halloween season, we’re not afraid to unmask the real villains.

The Trump regime tries to scapegoat us based on where we live, who we love, and what we look like, while they hide in plain sight.

But we aren't falling for it.

People of every race, place & faith know that together we have more power than the fossil fuel CEOs burning our planet for profit.

We can't let them divide us. We must demand clean air, water & energy our families can count on.

Our ability to care for our families shouldn't be based on our race, background, or genders.

The MAGA regime’s Murder Law takes away our freedom to care for our families.

We must #FreeAmerica of this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.

1️⃣ Google wants to build a massive AI data center in Indianapolis.

But people got organized and stopped them.

While Google would profit, this data center would steal from everyday people — polluting our water and passing on higher electric costs to residents.

As hurricane season arrives in Florida, Central Florida Jobs with Justice started a campaign to organize people with a clear demand:

📣 Federal disaster dollars should fund building sustainable, permanently affordable housing with union labor.
Stormy sky over a city skyline with cartoon-style dollar bills flying through the air. Text at the top reads: “LEAVE NO NEIGHBOR BEHIND.” Large bold headline: “FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND GOOD UNION JOBS IN ORANGE COUNTY” Below the skyline, white text reads: “We, the tenants, workers, and community members of Orange County, call on Mayor Jerry Demings and the Orange County Board of Commissioners to take immediate action on our housing affordability crisis as hurricane season looms.” Bottom text and logos: CENTRAL FLORIDA JOBS WITH JUSTICE Aerial photo of homes and trees under a dark halftone effect. White and light blue text reads: “For low-income communities and communities of color, hurricane season isn’t just preparing for the next storm. It means enduring constant displacement, evictions from skyrocketing rents, and the fear that the next disaster could push us out of our homes for good. Orlando has already faced a man-made disaster driven by corporate landlords: the nation’s second-highest rent increase. That is why we demand: federal disaster dollars be directed toward building sustainable, permanently affordable housing with union labor.” Bottom logo: CENTRAL FLORIDA JOBS WITH JUSTICE Top banner graphic repeats the design from Image 1, with dollar bills flying and the text: “LEAVE NO NEIGHBOR BEHIND. FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND GOOD UNION JOBS IN ORANGE COUNTY” Body text reads: “Hurricane season is here. We believe disaster recovery funds should do two things: build housing that working people can actually afford long-term, and create well-paid union jobs for local residents. Real recovery means we don’t get priced out of our own neighborhoods. It means the people who rebuild Orange County are the people who live here: earning fair wages, good benefits, and working under safe conditions right where we live 🤝”

Americans across races and places value our freedoms – but MAGA is declaring war against Americans. They are:

🪖 invading our cities
🏥 stealing healthcare from seniors
🍽️ taking food from kids

We must come together to protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures.
Two-panel meme using images from Squid Game showing the same character with different facial expressions.

Check out this powerful statement from @tnimmigrant.bsky.social in response to the Trump regime sending the military into Memphis.

The statement calls out the Trump regime's lies and fear-mongering, and how they want to use federal troops to seize more power in our cities.
Graphic with a dark teal background and light grid pattern in the upper left corner. The TIRRC logo is in the top right. Large white text reads: “The people of Memphis didn’t ask for federal troops to patrol their streets. They didn’t consent to having their city occupied by the National Guard. Yet once again, we’re seeing federal leaders seize power from local communities, using lies as an excuse to invade our cities. This started in June in LA and President Trump continues to use immigrants and lies about crime as scapegoats to expand his control in our cities.” – Lisa Sherman Luna, Executive Director Graphic with a matching design—dark teal background, grid pattern in the upper left corner, and TIRRC logo in the top right. White text reads: “As Tennesseans we must stand up and say ‘no’ to this abuse of power from President Trump. We will not allow federal leaders to use our cities as testing grounds for authoritarian control. At TIRRC we believe that together we have the collective power to reclaim control over our own lives and our own communities. Because when we stand together, we are stronger than those who want to take away our freedom, our power, and our joy.” – Lisa Sherman Luna, Executive Director

As the new school year starts, @aclutx.bsky.social participated in 10 back-to-school drives across Texas to talk to families about students' rights and protecting the freedom to learn.

They also distributed Know Your Rights materials that connected folks to their Students' Rights Hub.
A man wearing sunglasses and a blue t-shirt with an illustration of Texas speaks to two women at an outdoor event. They’re standing at an ACLU table covered with flyers in English and Spanish about civil rights and voter information. One woman is holding a flyer and another listens intently. A sign on the table reads “Stop book bans, support our students.” Other booths and people are visible under tents in the background. A woman wearing a black “ACLU” shirt smiles and speaks to a woman in a pink shirt at an indoor community event. They’re at a table with flyers, stickers, and a sign that says “Upcoming Trainings” with a QR code. Other people in bright shirts are also present, and the atmosphere is lively and engaging.

Only by joining together to confront these bullies who seek to control us will we protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures.

Check out our NEW "Guide to Messaging Our Freedoms": wemakethefutureaction.us/resources-do...
Sample Messaging: “In America, we value our freedoms—no matter what we look like or where we call home. We want our leaders to fight for us, not steal from us so they can line their pockets. But corporations and the MAGA regime take in record profits by denying our freedom to make a good living and have a good life.” Below the text is a black-and-white photo of billionaires, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, in suits. Sample Messaging: They hold down our wages and raise our prices all so they can enrich themselves and their billionaire backers. Real freedom means being able to demand better pay, care for our families, and retire in dignity. Only by joining together to confront these bullies who seek to control us will we protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures. [Insert Call to Action]
