“Honoring my colleague means more than words—it means changing the system that failed him so no one else pays the price.” After an UPTE member was killed at SFGH, we demand a safety plan now, staffing/caseload limits, PTO, & trauma support. Read here: upte.org/demands

"Join DSA" —NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani Socialists won nationwide last night, highlighted by Zohran's big win. Every single one of those wins was made possible by people rejecting cynicism and choosing hope, choosing belief in a better world, and organizing to make it happen.

Last night, our DSA National Co-Chair @meganromer stopped by Miami on her way back from Cuba and participated in our “Eyewitness Reports” panel last night along with US Hands Off Cuba Committee representatives from Jacksonville and Los Angeles! ¡Abajo el bloqueo! 🇨🇺

On October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was founded as a Black revolutionary formation to fight against white supremacy & capitalist exploitation & the right to self-determination. They challenged the American racist system. They did not join it.

UPTE members at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab took a break from our strike vote today to march on the boss! We called out the low morale and retention issues caused by an arbitrary, unfair merit raise system. We don't want to strike, but are ready if that's what it takes! #union

I am humbled by the support of more than 545,000 New Yorkers in last week's primary. This is just the beginning of our expanding coalition to make New York City affordable. And we will do it together.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on your incredible victory. Your campaign proves what can happen when a grassroots movement stands up to corporate greed, defends the humanity of Palestinians, and makes no apology for its belief in a more equal & affordable society for all.

From NYC to LA, immigrant workers built this country and immigrant workers deserve to be safe in this country. While most Americans watch in horror as ICE kidnaps our neighbors, billionaires keep cutting checks to Trump and Cuomo to keep their deportations running smoothly.

We're not just angry over a shirt color. Starbucks is a MASSIVE company without focus. They refuse to staff our stores properly, give guaranteed hours to workers, pay us a living wage, or provide stipends to pay for this arbitrary dress code. We need fair union contracts NOW.
