🦋 This weekend, we celebrated Mexican Independence Day with our NYC communities despite ICE’s pervasive presence & threats throughout our neighborhoods. Although these are dark times for our people, we will always show our pride for our culture & support one another.

Workers are about to see their health insurance costs go up by 5%. Employers will see 10% higher health insurance costs. That's because healthcare is being cut in order to send a six-figure tax break to each member of the richest 1%. I'm sure that'll be great for the economy.

This Thursday!!!

“Fascism is not new. It wears a new dress, buys new boots—but it can only reproduce fear, denial, and the loss of will to fight.” Toni Morrison’s timeless warning on fascism & censorship still rings out today. inthesetimes.com/article/toni...

Our schools and families are under attack.⁠ ⁠ The proposed federal budget slashes $12 billion from education and guts programs like Title I, after-school care, and teacher training. It also puts 18 million kids’ meals at risk.⁠

🏳️⚧️We’re kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating our resiliently beautiful Queer Latinx communities! 🫶 We are GRATEFUL to all the community members, panelists & organizations who participated & who continue to show up for our people!

🏘VICTORY! Tarrytown opts into #GoodCause with the strongest tenant protections possible. It will give power back to tenants by enabling them to fight for the living conditions they deserve, and protecting them from exorbitant rent increases, often used as unofficial eviction notices. ¡Sí se pudo!

Congress has already cut SNAP and Medicaid — now they’re setting their sights on housing and homeless assistance. These programs keep people housed and alive! More cuts will push more people into homelessness. #StopTheFederalCuts Contact your rep today: endhomelessness.org/action/act-n...

Earlier this week, UNE members joined @popdemoc.bsky.social in DC. While there, members met with representatives from Colorado, told their stories, and made clear what drastic cuts to housing programs would mean for their communities.

They want: 🚫 411k families evicted 🚫 Elders in unsafe homes 🚫 Disabled folks pushed into the militarized streets All to line billionaire landlord wallets + fund ICE and private prisons Join us to say NO TO HOUSING CUTS! #StopCutsToHousing #StopCutsToHUD

Trump tells Lies People Die That's all you really need to know. Repealing the entire Big BUGLY Bill is the only way. #StopCutsToHealthcare #RememberNextNovember

The money exists to resist authoritarianism and build something better. What’s missing isn’t resources—it’s imagination. Read Karundi Williams’ new op-ed: forgeorganizing.org/article/we-s...

MAGA is building the Klan 2.0. - Want to remove women’s right to vote - End marriage equality - Put troops and masked agents in our streets to racially profile and terrorize us

Jen Flynn Walker: We've been organizing people on Medicaid and people who rely on the ACA for years now. They're really facing the reality that they are in danger of losing all of their healthcare access, and it is not hyperbolic to say that if they lose their health care coverage, they will die.

The 14th Amendment changed the course of American history. It guarantees #BirthrightCitizenship, equal protection & due process. Now Trump, billionaires & extremist lawmakers want to dismantle it. We won’t stay silent. Take action and become a Defender 👉popdemoc.org/defendthe14th

Tenants nationwide rallied last week against federal housing cuts—demanding action on evictions, rent hikes, and unsafe homes. 📸 Big thanks to @NOLA Lens for the powerful photos. 🔗 bit.ly/45o47OF @nilhc.org | @pplsaction.bsky.social | @popdemoc.bsky.social‬ #TenantPower #HousingJustice

We’re living under billionaire rule. While we fight to stay fed, housed, and healthy, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Stephen Schwarzman CEO are rewriting the rules to get richer. Our new report “Trump’s Corporate Oligarchs” breaks it down. Get the receipts! 👉 popdemoc.org/trumps-oligarchs

"What they didn’t understand is that I had already been arrested. My mind, heart, and imagination had been arrested by this idea that we are much better than this and that the wealthiest country on the planet can afford to provide basic healthcare to all of its citizens." - @warnock.senate.gov

"In order to pay for the tax breaks for the billionaires and large corporations, they're going to war against low and working people." - @sanders.senate.gov #CareNotCuts #ProtectMedicaid

Our member Miriam shares her story in Washington DC to fight back against life-threatening cuts to care: “As a home health aide who works closely with elderly patients, our seniors rely on Medicaid and similar programs for survival. They need frequent medical care...” #NoMedicaidCuts #CareNotCuts

"Cuts to our healthcare system will kill people. In other words, that’s murder.” - @chuygarcia.house.gov #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

“The raids on immigrants across this country is directly tied to their attacks on Medicaid and Social Security. We have to stand up and fight back. We are not going to let our people be killed." - @jayapal.house.gov Let’s organize and say to them one final time: #HandsOffOurMedicaid

"The only way to beat a movement is with a movement. We're here today because we're going to match their energy. WE WON’T BACK DOWN!" - @pressley.house.gov #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

📢 HAPPENING NOW We’re rallying and making it clear: Healthcare Cuts Kill! As our Co-Executive Director Analilia Mejía says: “A society that denies its people healthcare is a cruel, shameful and disgusting one.” #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

Buenos días!☀️ Today, our health team & members are joining @popdemoc.bsky.social and hundreds of community members and allies in Washington DC to demand #CareNotCuts to the lifesaving programs our communities need to survive. Our health. Our dignity. Our lives.

HEALTH CARE IS A PUBLIC GOOD — not a luxury for the rich. That’s why today we are with @popdemoc.bsky.social to call on Congress to protect what’s ours: Medicaid, Medicare, Reproductive care, the ACA. #CareNotCuts

Our health care, our dignity, our lives — ALL of it is on the line. Today, we are saying loud and clear with @popdemoc.bsky.social & national allies: #CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid

Momentum is rising for the #EmPIREAct! More NY legislators are stepping up to protect our paychecks + end corporate greed. We’re fighting back against wage theft, abusive bosses, & the billion-dollar crisis hurting working families. 👀 This is what leadership looks like.

Workers or billionaires? These champions have chosen to side with workers by supporting the EmPIRE Act! Now we need to get EmPIRE passed this session and stop wage theft from harming our communities. Hit the link. bit.ly/EmPIRECall

The EmPIRE Act is NY’s defense against Trump’s attack on workers. Workers from across NYS gathered at the Capitol demanding action against rampant wage theft by powerful employers who silence workers. Let’s pass my bill & protect the rights & wages of NY’s workers.

In the name of worker justice, we hit Albany with heart, power, and a photo booth! Wage theft is a billion-dollar crisis in New York, and we're done being silent about it. The #EmPIREAct would give us the tools to get our stolen wages back & hold abusive employers accountable. bit.ly/EmPIRECall

Ninfa worked 60 hours a week for $12/hour. No overtime. No sick leave. No holidays. Below minimum wage for years. When she asked for fair pay, her boss said no. When she finally quit, he refused to pay her what he owed. This is wage theft!

Congress' reconciliation bill will deprive children & families of nutrition + health support while supercharging an immigration agenda that threatens our communities. ☎️Call Congress & tell them to REJECT this HARMFUL bill: (202) 224-3121

🔥THANK YOU to all the members of @cvhpower.bsky.social @citizenactionny.bsky.social @vocal-ny.bsky.social and all our friends from @popdemoc.bsky.social and RTTC who came to say HELL NO to housing cuts to fund tax breaks for billionaires! Stay tuned for more good trouble...

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

Medicaid is there for grandparents. Medicaid is there for parents. Medicaid is there for grandchildren. Medicaid is there for ALL GENERATIONS.

DaMareo Cooper: We’re responding to this moment when they're trying to literally fleece us and steal Medicaid so that they can fund a deportation machine. #HandsOff @popdemoc.bsky.social

Join us @jayapal.house.gov @nywfp.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social for Resistance Lab Training on 5/18 5-8pm! This event will provide practical training, inspiring discussions, & networking opportunities to strengthen our collective efforts in fighting for justice. www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

Who's illegal? This dope poem from The Miserable Genius from @maketheroadny.bsky.social, winner of We The Poets, is exactly what you need to ground yourself today as the Supreme Court hears a case on Birthright citizenship. No one is illegal on stolen land.

🚨 HANDS OFF THE PEOPLE'S MONEY! 🚨 Elon Musk now has access to $6 trillion in Treasury payments—SNAP, Medicaid,Medicare, unemployment, tax refunds. No unelected billionaire should have the power to control the resources people rely on to survive. This is an unconstitutional & immoral power grab.

In the face of federal actions and attacks undermining worker protections, #StepUpLouisiana is proof that community organizations are vital lifelines for empowering workers to stand up against exploitation & securing rights, especially in the South. ✊ #WorkerPower

👋 We're glad to be here together with you. We’re Popular Democracy, the largest multiracial grassroots base-building organization in the country, working to transform the lives of Black, brown and working class people for the better. We're ready to Fight Back. ✊
