Beautifully said. This fight does NOT end here.

I’m headed to ESSENCE Fest! 💜 Culture. Community. Joy. Power. That’s my kind of room. See y’all soon! 🙌🏿

Less than half of Americans can now afford quality healthcare. In the richest country on Earth. Healthcare should heal people, not bankrupt them.

While the SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship offers a moment of relief, no one is truly safe under an administration that prioritizes fear over the needs of working people. We need affordable healthcare, gas, & groceries, not more attacks on immigrant families.

They take the credit. We do the work. They hoard the wealth. We get the scraps. They tell us to wait. Too late… we’re already organizing.

Queer liberation and worker justice have never been separate fights. Queer workers have pushed this movement to fight harder for inclusion and dignity for every worker. Pride does not end because the calendar changes. We keep building a labor movement where all of us are free. 💜✊🏿

Voting is one of the ways working people turn our voices into power. Today's Supreme Court decision protects the ability of states to count mail ballots that were cast on time, even if they arrive after Election Day. Every eligible vote counted. Every voice heard. That’s the floor.

Workers aren't asking for charity. We’re asking for our fair share of the wealth we create.

If Amazon spent half as much energy respecting workers as it does fighting unions, we'd all be having a different conversation.

Normalize asking why productivity keeps rising but pay doesn't.

One year later, the raids are not “over.” Families are still paying the price. Children are still carrying the trauma. Workers are still being targeted. We cannot scroll past this. We cannot normalize this.

Rent is too high. Homeownership feels out of reach. Working families are asking for relief. So why are we delaying bipartisan housing solutions to fight old political battles? Start putting working people first.

(1/2): Our hearts are with the people of Venezuela after two devastating earthquakes left over 160 dead and many more trapped. Across our union, our Venezuelan siblings are bearing the heavy weight of this tragedy while worrying about loved ones back home.

Today’s Supreme Court decision is devastating for our entire country. This decision creates more fear, more uncertainty, and more instability for families who are already being targeted.

The greatest trick corporate America ever pulled was convincing working people that asking for more is selfish.

3.8 million people lost Medicaid coverage. That’s 3.8 million reminders that healthcare policy is never abstract. It’s medicine. It’s doctor visits. It’s survival.

After a week at the AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention, one truth followed me everywhere: nobody makes it alone. I wrote more about the hope I’m carrying from this week on my Substack. Head to the link in my bio for the full article.

If corporations can afford union-busting, they can afford better wages.

Voting rights are about power. Who gets heard. Who gets counted. Who gets represented. Georgia organizers won this round. The lesson is the same as it's always been: Stay loud. Stay ready. Stay organized.

SNAP participation didn’t just fall. It was pushed down by policy choices. Taking food off people’s tables is not leadership. It’s cruelty.

Organizing reminds workers of the truth: We are not alone. Our fight is not separate. Our power is not small.

The people who came before us didn't just dream of a better future. They organized for it. They sacrificed for it. They fought for it. Now it's our turn. ✊🏿💜

They call it “beautiful” because it’s beautiful for billionaires. Bottom 20% take the hit. Top 20% cash in. That’s not a budget. That’s a wealth transfer.

Cruelty feels like an understatement.

SNAP gave people about $6 a day for food. They called that waste. Then handed billionaires another tax break. That’s the scam.

#Juneteenth honors those who refused to accept exploitation then and reminds us that rights and freedoms are never guaranteed. From voting rights to workers' rights, the fight for justice didn't end. It continues through us. ✊🏿🙌🏿

For generations, women have been told care is just “what we do.” No. Care is work. Skilled work. Essential work. And yet the women who care for our communities are still told to accept less. The people doing the work deserve more than gratitude. They deserve wages, respect, and a voice.

In a country with billionaires and trillionaires, no worker should be struggling to afford basics. But in Ohio, more than 1.7 million households are. OH is not alone. This is happening everywhere. Now tell me again, who is this economy working for?

Enough poverty wages. Enough impossible choices. Enough bosses saying there’s no money. Working people deserve the full value of what we create.

The economy is working exactly as designed. For billionaires.

Whole Foods workers voted for a union. That should mean a contract, not years of corporate stalling. Respect the vote. Respect the workers. Negotiate the contract. #UnionsForAll ✊🏿

We are not just resisting what’s broken… we are building what’s next.

Inflation-adjusted wages have fallen for 3 straight months. But somehow we're supposed to celebrate the world's first trillionaire? Working people don't need another zillionaire. We need MONEY. We need POWER. We need RESPECT.

Fourteen years ago, the government made a promise to Dreamers. Dreamers kept their end. But that promise was broken. Dreamers belong here. Their families belong together. And Congress must finally deliver permanent protections. ✊🏿💜

Black women have been building power for generations. Revolutionary Leadership honors that brilliance and turns it into a playbook. Proud to support Dr. Kerry Mitchell Brown’s Revolutionary Leadership. Pre-order here.

Every bar on this chart is a pay cut in disguise.

Being a trillionaire means you can spend $1.1 million dollars every hour from the day you are born to the day you die at 100, btw.

"You know what I really love? I love the inflation." Meanwhile, working people are paying more at the gas pump, the grocery store, and the doctor’s office. Let's be clear: inflation is not a game when you're living paycheck to paycheck.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. Workers at SoFi Stadium threatened to strike. Management found the money. That’s the union difference.✊🏿

Unions are the reason your weekend exists.

The real MVPs.

Unfriendly reminder that the top 1% hoards 1/3 of all wealth in the United States.

Workers are not voting to unionize so corporations can stall them for 465 days. They are voting for wages. For healthcare. For MONEY. POWER. RESPECT. When workers win their union, they should win a contract. Now the Senate needs to finish the job. Pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act.

What could you POSSIBLY need this kind of money for? A second planet?

ICYMI 👇 “April Verrett, the first Black woman elected president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) — a labor union of 2 million members — moderated a panel discussion about how Minnesota was able to build a strong resistance to the ICE occupation.”

One warehouse. One union contract. One more crack in the myth that workers can’t take on corporate giants. This is what #UnionsForAll looks like. Corporate power is strong. Worker power is stronger.

“Be grateful,” they said. Unfortunately gratitude doesn’t pay rent, put food on the table, fill the gas tank, or keep the lights on.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid aren’t handouts. They are promises working people paid for over a lifetime of work. We won’t stand by while politicians try to take them away. #UnionsForAll

👏🏿If companies are posting record profits, their workers should be earning record wages👏🏿
