Yes, agreed.
From @uaw.org to @1199seiu.org to the Amazon Labor Union, reform caucuses + slates have been essential to realizing intra-union democracy and transforming orgs from "service unions" into class-struggle unions. @labornotes.bsky.social's guide on reform caucuses is a great how-to resource.
We voted YES to authorize a strike by a whopping 91.5%! Columbia wonβt budge on protecting student workers from an authoritarian takeover and a cost-of-living crisisβitβs time to turn up the pressure.

St. Johnβs University AAUP will stop at nothing to get Father Shanley back to bargaining in good faith.
Like the SJU students playing in the NCAA Big East basketball tournament, the AAUP is also ready to play ballβat the bargaining table.

Lindsey is going to make an incredible council member- sheβs smart, tenacious, knows how to communicate, SHOWS UP, and really gets the kind of coalition politics we need to get things done in the city. We need more electeds like her at all levels of government.
A photo of Mayor Mamdani leaning forward like heβs listening is overlaid on a simple striped background. Large text above his head reads βkeep your promise! Fund nyc public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget.β Smaller text at the top reads βNYCPLAN Public Library Action Networkβ At the bottom of the image is an oblong bubble with text inside that reads βvisit nycplan.org for more informationβ
Love your library? Help us secure stable funding!
Take 30 seconds and send the Mayor a short note;
Tell him to honor his promise, and fund the NYC library systems at a minimum of 0.5% of the cityβs expense budget.

@claireforny.bsky.social's foreign policy objectives embody the best of the US Left tradition:
β’ Stop funding war + genocide (esp. in Gaza)
β’ Champion Puerto Rican self-determination
β’ Advance anti-imperialist internationalism based in working people's solidarity

When controlled by Republicans, Onondaga County's legislature approved a corporate-welfare aquarium project.
Now Dems control the leg, but the county's already spent $40M. What to do?
This is a great example of governing's complexities, and @mobreezy213.bsky.social is navigating them masterfully.
A vote on DHS funding is scheduled for TODAY. You know what to do. Call your Senators and ask them to hold the line: 202-224-3121 βοΈ

Old-school anti-war agenda π€ Next-gen social-media skills. When it comes to defeating imperialism and fascism, whether a century ago or today, history shows that socialists tend to know best how to get the job done.

Here's your chance to stand up against Trump and show your support for farmworkers. Join us on March 18th as 100+ farm workers and their supporters rally outside of the federal courthouse in Fresno while our case against the Trump admin's H-2A wage cuts is being heard inside the courthouse. 1/
Mayor Zohran Mamdani just did something most of the media didnβt noticeβ¦
It is not an exaggeration to say that, other than a few state legislators who actually, literally read the budget bills (rather than an in-house summary of them) everyone whose judgment about the NYS budget I trust has relied upon the work of FPI.

Little me as a ballerina. The first image in my book.
Some of the books I read: Black Girl Magic Beyond the #, Black Feminist Thought, Hood Feminism, Black Skin/White Masks, Race/Sport and Politics
A year ago today, Say Her Name, was released to the world. So much has changed since then. But for a moment, I'm going to hold onto the joy I felt thenπΈπΈπΈ

Reminder that we'll be at One Station Plaza tonight for a Meet and Greet! Come learn more about how @aengelnyc.bsky.social and I want to fight to help you, sign a petition to help us get on the ballot, learn how to get involved, or just say hi!
RSVP at the link below (free!).
Hi everyone! @votewelch.bsky.social (whoβs running for NY-3 against Suozzi) and I are having a meet & greet fundraiser THIS WEDNESDAY, March 11, at One Station Plaza in Bayside from 7:00p-9:00p. Come join us and our neighbors as we build our movement. actblue.com/donate/sd11ny3
Reminder: if there's a public problem that matters to you greatly and you've put in the work to try to fix it (esp. as part of an org), you probably know more than your reps who have the authority to do something about it. So have confidence in yourself, and don't let reps tell you they know better!
π¨Invisible data pathways can expose patient information to ICE.
π£οΈIn my new op-ed, I urge CA + all states to:
1οΈβ£ Require state-funded health systems to disclose data sharing w/ outside companies
2οΈβ£ Bar vendors that contract with ICE
3οΈβ£ Give patients clear notice on data collected and who can access it
PS: @lindseyboylan.bsky.social's not only committed to making housing affordable; she also understands government's power to shape the real-estate market. (I still think she was 2021's best choice for Manhattan Borough President.) Her housing platform sets the standard. lindseyfornyc.com/priorities
Before holding office: Lindsey made defeating Cuomo possible and helped construct majorities for multiple causes of NYC's marginalized.
Once in office: Lindsey will help us Trump-proof NYC, reclaim its public spaces for the many, fight real-estate investors for affordability, and invest in care.
Letβs go Lindsey!!!!!
