Great news!

The U.S. Department of Labor's new rule will make millions of salaried employees eligible for overtime pay.

This is a huge win for Americans struggling with higher costs. cnn.com/2024/04/23/pol…

This is a great move from the FTC! Noncompete agreements keep wages low and are anti-worker and anti-competitive.

This is a pro-worker move that will mean people get paid more, and I’m proud to have helped advocate for it.

This is a HUGE pro-worker initiative by President Biden — and was a major piece of the Progressive Caucus Executive Action Agenda!

Thanks to this move, 4 million workers will now make more $$ when they work overtime. Democrats are delivering for working people! usatoday.com/story/money/20…

SCOTUS is currently hearing arguments on whether cities can punish the unhoused for the 'crime' of existing without shelter.

No one should face arrest for having no permanent shelter. 

We must end the criminalization of homelessness and invest in affordable housing for all.

Congratulations to the Volkswagen auto workers in Chattanooga, TN who just voted to join the UAW in a historic union election! As a co-chair of the Labor Caucus, I'm proud to stand with workers across the country who are fighting for their fair share and a voice on the job.

RealPage uses a price-fixing algorithm to gouge renters across the country. It's making the housing crisis worse.

In 2022, I led a letter alerting the U.S. Department of Justice to this new frontier of anticompetitive behavior, and the DOJ has since opened a criminal investigation.

Yesterday, VW workers in Chattanooga, TN voted to unionize with the UAW - even as they faced pressure from some anti-union employers + elected officials.

When workers stand together, workers win.

This historic election makes it clear the labor movement isn’t slowing down.

Cannabis justice is racial justice, economic justice, & restorative justice – and the time to act is NOW.

On this 4/20, we need to legalize marijuana, expunge records, & end the War on Drugs that has ravaged Black & brown communities.

The Columbine shooting, which happened 25 years ago, was right when I started teaching. Since then there have been over 400 more school shootings across the country. Kids shouldn’t have to be afraid of going to school. We need common sense gun reforms now.
