A flyer sharing details of a protest action along with three raised fists. Text reads:
FIGHT FOR WORKING PEOPLE
KEEP DOGE OUT OF DOL!
Working people deserve a STRONG Department of Labor, not one run by unaccountable billionaires and greedy CEOs.
February 5, 2025. 3PM. 200 Constitution Ave NW.

DOGE is descending on the DOL to give them the USAID treatment. They're not ready for the fight that organized labor is gonna bring. Come raise hell with us!

There’s a wealth gap between union and nonunion workers It's noticeable across all education levels.

FACT: Making it easier for unions to organize and for workers to join unions is by far one of the best and fastest ways to reduce income inequality in America.
