On this day in 2022, Assemblymember @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social joined the @sbworkersunited.org picket line at the NYC Roastery. Workers won the demands of that strike and are now fighting for a contract. Lucky for us, in just a few he will be our mayor fighting alongside us!

THANK YOU @bradlander.bsky.social - who has spend his career fighting for workers and has taught us all a lesson on solidarity throughout this campaign.
He put his heart into doing what was right and was instrumental in defeating Cuomo.
We are so excited to see what he does next!
WHAT A NIGHT!! From the beginning, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was in it to win it, and his campaign has been an inspiration to all of us.
He has shown us that a principled, inspiring, and joyful message can and will win - in organizing and in politics. Truly an incredible victory 💜
This weekend our members were getting out the vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!
We know he will fight for dignity, justice, and a city that puts everyday New Yorkers first. Rank him and @bradlander.bsky.social in your top 2 and #dontrankcuomo.
Tomorrow is Election Day. LET'S GO.
Checkmate! The workers won.

BIG NEWS: @tabletopwu.bsky.social ratified their contract - the FIRST of its kind in NYC!
The contract addresses critical demands, including big pay raises (up to a 19% increase) for the lowest-paid employees, consistent scheduling, and new workplace protections & benefits for all members.
.@bradlander.bsky.social was arrested for standing up for immigrant NYers. He's showing us what true leadership looks like when our members face these same types of horrifying interactions with ICE every day.
We demand that he be released and that ICE stop terrorizing our communities.
Early voting has begun! We're excited to get out the vote for @bradlander.bsky.social, a proven leader for workers' rights across the city!
Rank him and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in your top two and #dontrankcuomo anywhere on your ballot.
Yesterday we were proud to host @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! After co-endorsing both of them last week, we're so happy that they stood in front of photos of our members to cross-endorse each other.
Rank them in your top two starting TODAY and #dontrankcuomo!
I’ve stood w/members of @workersunitednynj.bsky.social at rallies, picket lines, & in the board room to stand up to Starbucks & more—now I’m deeply honored to have their endorsement.
When I’m Mayor, I’ll establish an Office of Workers Rights to make sure these rights are protected and expanded.

In solidarity w/ @tabletopwu.bsky.social, customers marched on ownership at the Brooklyn Strategist to condemn their attempts to limit workers' free speech!
"We implore you...at a time when many of our rights are under attack by people in power, to reject the cynicism of austerity and censorship."
Garden State Equality is a leader in LGBTQ+ advocacy, education, and wellness in New Jersey, while also creating a model of policy, strategic innovation, and structure for LGBTQ+ organizations nationwide to follow. Our ethos is centered around the notions of anti-racism, self-determination, and collective people power. We don’t just advocate for the thousands of people we serve; we provide them the resources and support they need to advocate for themselves. We trust grassroots communities to know what they need better than we ever could. Garden State Equality Workers United is asking that the things we practice and preach externally reflect what we practice and preach internally.
As employees of Garden State Equality, we are working in a world that makes our very existence difficult. Each one of us is honored to answer the call to serve in these impossible times through such an incredible organization. Yet, there are increasingly heavy demands made of us all that must be addressed. The necessary, righteous work our morals compel us to do should not come at the cost of our mental, physical, and emotional health. We are asking for the implementation of genuine safety measures, transparency and involvement in organization-wide decisions, and fairer wages, among other equitable changes.
With our organization’s twentieth anniversary celebration coming to a close, we now look toward the future. Just as our organization’s new headquarters is a promise to New Jersey’s LGBTQ+ communities that we aren’t going anywhere, Garden State Equality Workers United is a promise that we will fight for each other’s tomorrow. We welcome the collaboration of management and the executive staff in this process — because we all deserve equality at work.
We just presented our petition! Check out our statement on why we're organizing and how we look forward to working with management, the executive staff, and our boards on this process — because all of us deserve equality at work.

In the midst of the California wildfires, Starbucks cares more about making profit by leaving stores open. It couldn’t be clearer that Starbucks does not care about worker safety.
