It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Nurses, teachers, vets, caregivers, small biz owners, & countless other community leaders are on the frontlines in the fight for democracy, safety, and community. It's time for Congress to step up alongside working people. Tell your Senator, VOTE NO on ICE funding: www.jwj.org/nomoney4ice

As celebrations to honor the legacy of #MLK kick off today, it’s all eyes on Minnesota. Dr. King promoted solidarity amongst working people because he knew that freedom, safety, and a healthy democracy were only attainable when we confronted the profiteers of oppression, violence, and bigotry.

Come protest federal worker rights being stripped THIS Wednesday at noon in DC. It's worth taking an hour of PTO to stand up to illegal actions & be in solidarity with federal workers across the government. Bit.ly/PAWArally #supportfederalworkers #savepublicservices

Sri Lankan garment worker, Paramsivam Pushpalatha, died in October after a Brandix factory that supplies for Victoria’s Secret refused her request to leave a shift early to seek medical attention. 1/2 @afwa.bsky.social

When they try to silence one of us, we stand united. David Huerta’s courage reminds us that democracy only survives when we refuse to back down. #JusticeForDavid

No worker deserves to be fired for speaking up. Not Starbucks baristas organizing for a fair contract, immigrant workers fighting wage theft, Amazon warehouse workers demanding safety, or federal workers protecting our civil rights. Stand with the #FairHousingThree: http://www.jwj.org/fh3#FairHousingThree

"It is clearer than ever that democracy is on life support, begging to be revived, reimagined, and released from the grasps of profiteers and political theater. Working people are answering the call for revival, but sustaining this energy for justice requires all of us." Read more 👀👇

We can't depend on empty promises to be fulfilled while working people hang in the balance. That's why we've relaunched the Worker Solidarity Fund. Learn more (and give a little if you've got a little) at www.thesolidarityhub.org/wsf.

A pregnant Amazon employee asked for a chair to sit on—and wound up homeless.

Volkswagen can come to the table with autoworkers in Chattanooga and give them the dignity, wages, and safety they deserve. We’ve seen them do it with international auto workers. It shouldn’t be different for workers in Chattanooga, TN. Avoid a strike and meet the reasonable demands, VW!!

Jobs with Justice stands in unwavering solidarity with Volkswagen auto workers in Chattanooga as they prepare to cast their ballots on whether to strike next week.

“I’m speaking out now because I realize it’s important for other people to realize that they’re not alone. I really thought I was the only person.” Workers like Genesis are working with @warehouselife.bsky.social–a community of warehouse workers–to demand Amazon stop endangering pregnant workers.

Today formerly pregnant Amazon workers shared their experiences of discrimination, firings, and even miscarriages at their Amazon warehouses! Don’t let Amazon get away with putting pregnant workers in danger: send them an email with our demands! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

This year, amid escalating crises, we've witnessed extraordinary resilience, bold worker organizing, new leaders rising up against authoritarianism, and powerful acts of solidarity. This week, JwJ is thrilled to honor movement leaders driving this fight forward at our annual Awards Celebration!

We still on this fight! Amazon hasn't taken action to support pregnant workers and stories keep coming in of pregnant workers being mistreated by the company. #exposeamazon

Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be checking in at ICE HQ in Baltimore. Federal prosecutors have said if he could be deported to Uganda in 72 hours if he doesn’t accept a plea deal to human smuggling charges in Tennessee. A rally is being held before his 8a check in.

For over 35 years, JwJ has projected our strength through a variety of iconic imagery that has shown up on the streets, in community gatherings, and more. With a nod to our past and our eyes on the future, we are thrilled to share a new logo for the next generation of Jobs with Justice.

Social Security turns 90 today. Social Security is the largest form of wealth 90% of people will have. Privatizing Social Security won't help workers—it would just enrich Wall Street. Learn more about Social Security in our new FAQ: www.epi.org/publication/...

Contributor: The heat-safety law isn't enough. Farmworkers are still dying every summer

"Blue Oval SK workers' campaign to join the UAW is about winning safe working conditions, a voice on the job, and affordable health care. But the vote is also a huge opportunity for every working-class Kentuckian across the state." @kentuckylantern.com kentuckylantern.com/2025/08/06/u...

EPA workers make sure our air and water are clean and protect our communities from pollution. Taking away their voice on the job isn't only an attack on their basic rights—it puts us all in danger. This administration is escalating its union-busting. Now is the time to get loud.

Sending love and solidarity to @32bjseiu.bsky.social as they mourn the loss of union member Aland Etienne.

We’re grateful to @delia.bsky.social for continuing to honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Calvin Morris. He was a mentor, friend, and comrade to many of us in the JWJ Network. He embodied the JWJ way and committed a lifetime to showing up in solidarity with working people.

Trump’s executive order stripping bargaining rights from federal workers was union-busting—but we have the bill AND the votes to fix it. We urge every member of Congress to sign the discharge petition to get the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote. aflcio.org/press/releas...

🔴 LIVE: Erica Smiley of @jwj.org gets a question on how unions can maintain power with the NLRA and NLRB under attack. “Worker power is not based in the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRA is based in worker power. They can’t take that power away, because they didn’t give it to us.”

Excited to be moderating a panel at this event on Thurs., July 17 on "Creating an Economy that Empowers Working People" with Erica Smiley of @jwj.org and @faiz.bsky.social of @moreperfectunion.bsky.social Details and free tix: ips-dc.org/event/2nd-he...

Almost like the more folks hear about Amazon from groups like @jwj.org, the less they want to shop there.

While Amazon floods your feed with Prime Day ads, they’re also hurting pregnant workers. #ExposeAmazon #PrimeDay

Since the Dobbs ruling, abortion access has been gutted across the country—hitting workers and families hardest. Now’s the time for unions to organize, fight back, and bargain for abortion protections. Learn how in @nwlc.org and @jwj.org new resource: on.nwlc.org/4lnu1XH

President Trump committed the biggest act of union-busting in history, stripping nearly 1 million federal workers of their right to collectively bargain & have a voice on the job. We’re thrilled to see the court block Trump’s retaliatory executive order. aflcio.org/statements/a...

It’s hot outside ☀️🌡️🥵 Extreme heat is a threat to worker safety. 1 in 3 workers is regularly exposed to the outdoors as part of their job, especially in construction or on farms. Indoor jobs in places like warehouses can be dangerously hot, too. We need to protect workers from extreme heat!

Why is Nike hiding from the garment workers who make their apparel for as little as $1 per hour? #SeeUsNike

This #Juneteenth, we must see the threats to Black organizng power for what they are: threats to the very meaning of democracy. Must read from Sherman Henry, Director at the Labor Institute for Advancing Black Strategies, labortribune.com/opinion-blac...

We’re at Rutgers U this week with JwJ network leaders from across the country. We’re using our time together to discuss long term strategy, skill share, deepen our solidarity, and cultivate space for joy within the chaos. WHEN WE FIGHT, WE FIN!

Opening Plenary at #LRAN2025!

We have the right to peaceful protest. Find an event near you to demand they free David Huerta & end ICE raids! bit.ly/FreeDavidEndRaids #FreeDavidEndRaids #SolidaritySummer

When Huerta says “We are a power” He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers. And he’s right. You can’t detain a movement. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

Jobs with Justice stands with all working people fighting back against this violent regime. Huerta must be returned to his family, community, and union siblings.

🗣️ Calling all labor strategists, researchers, scholars, and more! @labor-research.bsky.social kicks off next week at Rutgers June 9-10. Register below!
