Ta-Nehisi Coates, brother, thank you. Thank you for being who you are. I want to thank your parents and everyone and everything that has shaped who you are. You are a beautiful human. A real gem to all of us. I will start reading your new book “The Message” today. I pray that

Wish the labor movement also did this type of large-scale volunteer campaigning to organize the unorganized

When we stand together against corporate greed, we can move mountains. Thank you to the dedicated longshore workers of the ILA for showing the nation what true solidarity looks like!

A 61.5% increase in wages for dockworkers ain't radical. This shit is radical: Wealth of ship owners Aponte Family: $69.6 billion Moller-Maersk Family: $21 billion Fredriksen Family: $16.7 billion Average Income of East Coast Dockworkers: $60,000 Starting wage: $20 an hour

All kids deserve a librarian in their school! Instead of online testing & relentless data tracking, let's let kids be kids & ensure a fully staffed/fully stocked library. If lifelong learning & lifelong reading are the goals, then libraries are the answer! TY ⭐️ SDG ⭐️AKA Muse of Chicago Trib Editorial Board!

Why not launch an inspiring, well-funded campaign to get as many as possible of our 14.4 million union siblings to text or knock the doors of their neighbors & unorganized peers to invite them to a mass training on how to unionize their workplaces?

Seen some viral tweets suggesting Pete Buttigieg single handedly resolved the port strike. Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su, a woman with less visibility, was at union HQ all day yesterday working on this, just not on TV. The ILA’s president called Su ‘terrific.’ Just fyi!

Wow. In just a few days we seen President Biden supporting striking workers, the incredible jobs report, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris working across party lines to help families hit by the Hurricane. politico.com/news/2024/10/0…

Teachers are the aspiration agents that go into their classrooms every day to help kids thrive. Today on #WorldTeachersDay, we thank them for their work and commit ourselves to fighting for safe working conditions, fair pay, and respect for the profession.

Powerful morning connecting with fellow union members on the doors! Fighting for pro labor and pro public ed candidates. Let's go.

One of the best things about Connecticut AFL-CIO labor walks today? Meeting several union members who volunteered for the very first time! They want to make their voices heard and elect worker champions up and down the ballot! #Labor2024 #LaborVotes

Why Are We Begging for School Funding? If Chicago powers Illinois, why are we still fighting for resources in our schools? Chicago’s Black and Brown children deserve better. #UnderfundedUnderstaffed #FundOurSchools
