As Pride Month comes to a close, we honor the strength, resilience, and brilliance of the LGBTQIA+ community. At Pride at Work, our commitment to inclusion doesn't end in June — it's every day, all year.

As Pride month comes to a close, we honor Marsha Botzer—a trailblazer who brought union organizing power to the fight for trans rights.

Marsha’s legacy reminds us: queer rights and workers’ rights go hand in hand.

Cuts to Medicaid in the Senate’s budget bill could close 338 hospitals across the country, jeopardize millions of people’s health care, and threaten people’s lives.

Working people say, hell no!

MLK Labor and the @wslc.bsky.social have a full schedule of Labor Neighbor canvases to support labor-endorsed candidates across King County during the primary.

The fun begins this Saturday in SeaTac!

This #WorldRefugeeDay, we lift up the strength and courage of refugees and migrants. WA's labor movement believes everyone deserves safety & economic security, no matter where we are from. We honor the refugee & migrant workers who are valued members of our unions and our nation.

On Juneteenth, we hold two ideas in tandem; the joy of celebrating progress, and the urgent need to continue fighting for justice until we all are free.

The budget bill that the Senate is considering would be a nightmare for working families.

It would throw 16 MILLION people off their health care, likely close 338 hospitals and cut SNAP food assistance for 2 million kids.

Working people say hell no!

We are a better nation because of Immigration.

We demand the immediate release of SEIU USWW President David Huerta and an end to ICE raids targeting our fellow working people.

Ain't No Power like the Power of the Workers, Cuz the Power of the Workers Don't Stop. Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO

🗣️ SAY WHAT

Remote towns, big cities and everywhere in between—letter carriers ensure no one is left behind. No one does it better than our members, and all funded by postage, not taxpayers. We won’t let privatization take it away. #FightLikeHell

Joy and Justice. Celebrating pride. Lettering cut out of various trans and queer flags with confetti in the background

Pride month is a celebration rooted in a generations-deep fight for justice.

As we celebrate trans & queer existence this month, we recognize that amid attacks and heated rhetoric targeting the LGBTQ community, especially our trans and non-binary siblings, Solidarity is all the more essential.

When we fight, we win!

We honor and remember those who served. Memorial Day. A red poppy flower superimposed over Arlington cemetery.

In remembrance of all those who have sacrificed their lives in service to our country 🇺🇸
