Deep Jesse lore. My dad worked on the 84 & 88 Jackson campaigns. My mother’s Lutheran, my father’s Jewish.

As a favor Reverend Jackson baptized me at my mom’s church.

Reverend Jackson is my namesake.

Picture of the post game with me in my dad’s arms as Rev Jackson kisses my grandmother.

CWA 7901 has endorsed the January 31st Portland event: Labor Says ICE Out! We'll join our siblings in the Oregon labor movement to stand together against ICE terror.

β€œThe termination of a lead union organizer during the fragile, initial phase of a union drive is an exceptionally severe act. […] This action, taken by the City's highest elected and appointed officials, constitutes β€˜egregious’ conduct[.]”

The second is a charter for the international Typographical Union which was signed in 1883.

Absolutely wild finds in our @cwa7901.bsky.social office.

I just found two relics that have just been collecting dust next to my desk in the corner of the office.

The first is a resolution creating the Oregon and Washington Typographical Society from the Journeymen Printers Convention in 1853.

The CEI Hub, a six mile stretch of fuel storage tanks between the Willamette River and Forest Park stores 90% of Oregon's liquid fuels.

Everyone who works in or near this geography is at risk of the impacts of a world-historic industrial disaster.

We, as workers, can prevent this future.

I’ve been on and off limited duration contracts (full time & part time) since I left DHL and I am so happy that 7901 wanted to offer me a permanent full time job.
