SICK OF ICE'S TERROR?

They arrested a 71yo observer. Raided street vendors. Stormed Buona Forchetta.

ICE is Trump’s unaccountable gestapo—but we’re building people power to fight back.

Today, marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last increased. Since then, CEO pay has increased by 91%.

What's the best way to strengthen worker power and secure family-sustaining wages? Get Organized.

SENATOR SLOTKIN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT FARM WORKERS She's siding with the GOP to push policies that would cut and freeze the wages of Michigan farmers. Urge her to withdraw her support. CALL HER OFFICE NOW 1-(202)-759-4087 SWIPE for TEMPLATE

TEMPLATE 1-(202)-759-4087 Hi, my name is ____ I live in _, and I Support farm workers. I am beyond disappointed that Senator Slotkin wants to freeze the wages of farm workers, who are essential to Michigan's and the American economy. It is shameful that the Senator speaks out for auto workers and other workers while also working to cut the wages of farm workers. I believe farm workers are not paid enough. Farm workers make sure that families across the US have food on their tables. I'm demanding that Senator Slotkin stand with farm workers and withdraw her support for this harmful wage cut. We need action now!

Senator Slotkin has announced her intended support for legislation that would CUT and FREEZE the wages of farm workers - one of the most underpaid professions in the US.
This is just wrong!

Call @slotkin.senate.gov TODAY! Urge her to withdraw her support.

Let's recommit ourselves to fighting for a world where no worker is exploited and everyone earns a fair share of the wealth we create—regardless of what we look like, where we come from, who we love or any other way the boss might try to make us think the person next to us deserves less than we do.

By working in solidarity to organize our unions and negotiate our contracts, we build the power we need to tear down the systems of oppression that have allowed bosses to exploit workers.

But there's a proven way to fight this kind of wage theft and pay discrimination. With a union contract, bosses must pay all workers who do the same job a negotiated wage. There's no room for secret deals or paying one group more than another for the same work.

But let's keep the focus where it belongs—on the employers who are stealing Black women's wages to line their own pockets.

This exploitation is part of the long legacy of slavery, segregation and misogyny in America. It might seem like there's too much to overcome.

Graphic that reads "Employers steal 34 cents of every dollar that Black women earn. Fight back with a union contract." Background is black with a texture pattern and an image of a fist signifying the union struggle.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay.

Every year, employers steal 34 cents of every dollar Black women earn by underpaying them for their labor. You'll probably heard today that Black women "earn less" or "are only paid 66 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men earn." 🧵

Graphic with text: "Trump's increase in deportations could destroy nearly 6 million jobs. 1 in 6 construction jobs could be eliminated. 1 in 7 child care jobs could be eliminated."

1 in 5 workers is an immigrant.

Immigrants are a crucial part of the US economy, and Trump's radical deportation agenda will hurt us all.

"We know there is so much work to be done. But as we rest, celebrate and observe the 249th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, let us remember how far we have come. Together."

Let's continue the fight for freedom and dignity. In solidarity. Together.

We want to share inspiration from @californialabor.bsky.social's @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social: "There is nothing more American than a union... We represent the spirit of coming together in the face of adversity through the power of solidarity."

Yesterday, Republicans passed the Billionaire Budget Bill. This bill steals healthcare and food from millions, takes money from schools and public services and makes the American Dream harder to reach. Billionaires a massive tax cut, and ICE gets a massive budget to harass and assault communities.

We're not free if the bosses can force us to clock out of democracy when we clock into work. Our labor movement fights for all workers to have freedom on the job and in our society. We fight for all working people because we know that none of us are truly free until all of us are free. 🧵

Remember this when kids are going hungry, when seniors and their families can't afford long-term care, when you get those higher medical and energy bills every month.

And remember the tax cut they gave billionaires like Jeff Bezos when he throws himself another $50 million party.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
