Paul Robeson was born on this day in 1898, the son of a man who freed himself from slavery. He also was deeply committed to unions that were antiracist and anti-imperialist. He even was an honorary member of the @ilwu.bsky.social and friends with Harry Bridges! www.aaihs.org/paul-robeson...

Thank you, International Longshoremen's Association, for the message of solidarity as we fight to protect area standard wages and benefits in Coos Bay.

Thank you @laborcaucus.house.gov for supporting ILWU Local 12 workers in their fight to preserve area wage & benefit standards. Good jobs build strong communities. Undermining these conditions w/substandard wages & benefits only leads to a race to the bottom. We know we can count on your support.

Great to sit down with ILWU Local 46, as well as Port of Hueneme and Oxnard district officials to talk about supporting our ports, longshoremen, and local economy. Investing in our ports is essential for the small businesses and communities that rely on them.

Much thanks to ILWU for standing in solidarity with federal employees across the nation!
