Today, on the anniversary of the 1963 #MarchOnWashington for Jobs and Freedom, we’re sharing a round up of stories that remind us what collective power can do in the face of hard times. Some of these pieces are recent, some are older, but all are worth revisiting right now. ✊ #SolidarityForever

Turns out organizing a union makes everything better. 🙃

"In a small organization, every relationship matters. Cyndi and her colleagues knew that they didn’t want just a majority to vote in favor of a union; they wanted full consensus from every eligible worker. They knew that this would strengthen both the union and the workplace moving forward." #1u

#SolidarityForever with our @pwunion.bsky.social comrades at Sierra Club who have been organizing for over a year against aggressive union-busting from the environmental organization's leadership. #1u #unionstrong This has been a long, long time coming. ✊🌱✊🌱

Work shouldn't make you sick.

“Nothing about us without us” is more than just a slogan, it's a core value of the labor movement. Even good intentions don’t equal accountability. If it affects workers, workers deserve to have a say. Read more in our recent Substack ➡️ organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/unionizing... 🦝 #unionstrong

Union busting is disgusting! 📣 #1u #solidarityforever

Climate nonprofits are facing funding shortfalls as federal dollars dry up and donors are unlikely to fill the gaps. Some have laid off staff and are searching for other ways to cut costs

This is what solidarity looks like. When these rural teachers stood up for their students and their dignity, the whole community rose with them. #unionstrong #strikeready

Retaliation for trying to organize a union isn't just wrong, it's harmful. No one should have to choose between their health and standing up for their rights in the workplace. ✊ Head to 👉 organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/unionizing... to hear more! #1u #unionstrong #solidarityforever #nonprofits

The Trump admin just fired 220 crisis counselors, mostly women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ workers, right after they formed a union. This isn’t just union-busting, it’s discriminatory retaliation against frontline workers fighting for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ youth.

And how much has the cost of living of gone up since then? Significantly – almost 50%.

Hulk Hogan died, huh? One less scab. Unionize your workplace, brothers (and sisters, and siblings).

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT THIS IS HUGE HUGE NEWS! And the results of years of organizing by workers at Sierra Club. #SolidarityForever

Power exists, no matter the structure of your organization. And workers deserve to have a say in how it’s used. A union doesn’t break trust, it builds real accountability. But for close-knit teams, it can feel like a rupture. Read more: organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/unionizing... #1u #unionstrong

🤢🤢🤢 This is the system working as designed: reward the rich, squeeze the rest. Workers deserve fair wages, not crumbs while CEOs cash million-dollar raises and safety nets get slashed. #WorkerJustice ✊

"Bosses change, boards change, funding changes...We really wanted to lock in our good working conditions." There can be so much uncertainty in nonprofits. When you cement good working conditions through a union contract, you can rely on having tangible, longterm power in the workplace. 💼💪 #1u

There can be so much uncertainty about the future in nonprofit organizations. When you cement good working conditions thru a union contract, you can rely on having tangible, longterm power in the workplace. ✊ Learn more in our recent Substack post: organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/unionizing... #1u

"Nothing about us without us." Even the best bosses can make decisions without real accountability. Unionizing is about having a voice in your own working conditions, even if you love your workplace. Read more in our new Substack post! 👇✊ #1u #UnionStrong #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

It can feel disempowering to be in a campaign that moves slowly and seems mostly reactive to management. The campaign mountain model is a useful framework for escalating actions that focuses on bringing members in consistently and fighting as a unit: labornotespodcast.podbean.com/e/how-to-win...

When workers formed United Cannabis Workers in January, Buzz Box voluntarily recognized the union. Then it cut hours and hired new workers. Now owners have closed the store. | NW Labor Press

Workers at a second General Motors assembly plant in Mexico will vote June 25 to 27 on whether to join SINTTIA (the National Auto Workers Union), the independent union that won a landmark election to represent workers at the company’s Silao plant in 2022. labornotes.org/mexican-gm-w...

"With overall union density in decline, unionism in the U.S. will need to be revived somewhere. Conditions are favorable for building union power in progressive nonprofits." There are only good reasons to unionize. organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/why-are-pr... #1u #unionstrong #solidarityforever

"The labor movement is escalating actions and experimenting with tactics. Labor for Democracy is planning to launch a political education program for union members. UNITE HERE Local 274 is teaming with the local AFL-CIO council on direct actions in Philly against the so-called Big Beautiful Bill."

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

You can't put a price on democracy in the workplace! #solidarityforever

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

This isn’t just about David. It’s about the right to organize. The right to speak out. The right to be safe. The right to be treated like a human. From this rally in Chicago to actions across the country—we won’t back down. #FreeDavidEndRaids

“I support unions… but we can’t afford one in our workplace.” When faced with a request for voluntarily recognition, nonprofit managers often freak out about the cost. Read our response to this union-reluctant talking point, and more 👇 organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/why-are-pr... #1u #unionstrong

Nonprofits talk justice, but internally it's often another story. Why are nonprofit leaders so contradictory when it comes to unions in their own workplaces? Real progressive change has to start inside the organizations claiming to lead it. organizeyourorg.substack.com/p/why-are-pr... #1u #unions

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

U is for UNION! Workers at the nonprofit behind Sesame Street have officially WON THEIR UNION with @opeiulocal153.bsky.social! ✊✊✊

Today, @teleperformance-gp.bsky.social workers held a national day of action calling on the company to respect the right of its American workers to join unions, as the company has committed to globally. They are being denied the same union rights as Teleperformance workers in other countries.

Oh look another right-wing figure who decries immigrants even as the profitability of his businesses depends on immigrant labor. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Organize Your Org talked to five nonprofit workers in the labor movement (including JWJ) about their role, and every single one of them agreed about the unique opportunity to change both the union and nonprofit worlds!

"One of the most important things unionized workers can do outside of the workplace is show others that it’s possible to organize and win. That’s extra important in the nonprofit sector." Check out our latest Substack post ❤️‍🔥 substack.com/home/post/p-... #1u #unionstrong #solidarityforever

Baltimore/D.C. pals, am I gonna see you at @redemmas.org this weekend? withfriends.co/event/230691...

ICE recently conducted a raid of farm workers, seemingly focused on pro-union worker leaders. On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years. theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

REMINDER: They turn us against each other so that we won’t notice they are robbing us blind.

Trump's attempt to use executive action to stop funding America's public media is an attack on workers and American's First Amendment rights. cwa-union.org/news/release...
