“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

Top CEOs make 285x what the average worker does right now. Workers are the ones who create that profit - not greedy corporate executives.
They can start fixing the affordability crisis by looking in the mirror.
Trump asked CEOs at White House dinner how to tackle affordability. nypost.com/2025/11/13/busine…

SNAP is running out of money.
Let’s be clear: that means 42 MILLION people, including 1.2 MILLION veterans, are about to lose their food assistance. Working people, seniors and kids across the country will go hungry because of the Trump shutdown. cnn.com/2025/10/18/politics/…

Starbucks @SBWorkersUnited baristas are fighting unprecedented corporate greed—their CEO makes 6,666x what an average worker makes. It’s time that Starbucks gives their workers dignity, respect and their fair share of the profits THEY create. #NationalCoffeeDay

If the rules keep billionaires safe and workers struggling, the rules are wrong.

Trump’s DC takeover isn’t about law & order—it’s about silencing a Black-led city & targeting Black & brown communities building power. From ICE raids to voter suppression, it’s all a distraction from his own crimes. We’re not buying it.

.@UAW President @ShawnFainUAW:
“The big, beautiful bill is a billionaire giveaway. It’s a full blown attack on our towns, our health and our retirement security. It locks in corporate tax breaks for billionaires while Medicaid is slashed… we have to stand up in solidarity!”
Will you call @RepLangworthy or @RepTenney and demand they support an end to illegal union-busting attacks on federal workers?
They work for us, NOT the President!
The Trump admin continues its relentless attacks on the union rights of federal workers—but we have the bipartisan votes in Congress to stop their union-busting.
Tell your rep to sign the discharge petition and pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act!

If they do it to workers who care for veterans, they won't think twice about doing it to you. An injury to one is an injury to all!
The VA terminating the union contracts of their workers is an ambush on the people who care for our veterans. The Trump admin may think they can silence anyone who pushes back against their unlawful and anti-worker actions, but we aren’t going anywhere. aflcio.org/press/releases/af…

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour is bringing the heat for freedom, fairness and security!
America’s unions are in Chicago today for a training in peaceful mass mobilizations and civil disobedience. We’re building worker power and solidarity nationwide for ALL working people.

We fully support our @TexasAFLCIO family, and proudly stand with them in their fight against an administration bent on rigging the rules to stay in power.
