Democrats are failing to defend abortion, the climate, and democracy. Should we despair? No. History shows that ordinary people have the power to force political elites to fight for our rights — thru *mass action*. 🧵 on my latest article for @jacobin jacobin.com/2022/07/supreme-…

At B&R’s 2026 convention, we voted to join the draft for and support an AOC presidential campaign. We believe her campaign has the potential to build the labor movement, the student movement, and DSA.

Grocery workers are essential and deserve better pay! I teamed up with @EW4Democracy to create a mobile web app that allows workers to compare their contract to others across the nation. Empowering workers to fight for better pay and better conditions!

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?
Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

Educators have been out having great conversations about affordability in our city and our next mayor! We registered some new voters.

Mamdani won. The establishment is in panic. Billionaires are raising money against him; Trump is ranting; Islamophobes are on the loose. They know what we know: Candidates who stand boldly with the working class can win not only in NYC, but anywhere. Let's stand with Zohran.

Agree. After Zohran wins in November, we can’t let the campaign infrastructure and 10,000s of activists demobilize. Power in numbers, and numbers need organization. Otherwise we’re just online petition signers, hoping our political leaders can get it done, mostly on their own.
There are lots of Zohran's 50K volunteers who aren't yet ready to join DSA but who'd join a broader campaign for his core 3 planks with its own neighborhood & workplace structures A push to join DSA is necessary but insufficient to sustain & deepen this movement

If 5% of Zohran volunteers are ready to join DSA, that’s huge. Let’s recruit them! But to generate the power needed to win Z’s platform, we need to build a broader vehicle for the other 95%. DSA should help lead that movement, alongside all organizations that endorsed Z.

One of the biggest limitations of almost all electoral efforts—including Obama & Bernie's campaigns—is that they dismantle their volunteer armies after election day Instead, Zohran could actively transform his huge GOTV machine into a deep organizing campaign to win his agenda

DSA needs to meet the political moment. Too busy prepping for convention to realize the conditions for mass mobilization are developing and the organization must be constantly preparing.

In 2023, our union spent a combined $20,053,611 in pay for just 61 union officials making over $250k — up to $740,892. The average grocery worker in the US makes an average of $31,110 a year. Are your local officers in the UFCW's $250k Club? More: ew4d.org/2023-250k
