🚨 BREAKING: Young people are at Senator Schumer’s office to demand he stop the disastrous Trump-Musk budget. The doors are locked. @SenSchumer will you show your face and talk to the people? Or will you cowardly sell us out?

🚨 BREAKING: Young people are sitting in at Senator Schumer’s office to demand he stop the GOP’s corrupt budget. This bill guts essential services while giving extremist billionaires unchecked power over our government. If Schumer won’t fight back, he’s complicit. No deals. No

1 week before Thanksgiving, 1 week after *this union action*, and 1 year into bargaining our 1st contract, @ACLU_DC mgmt unlawfully laid off these two union members-nearly 15% of our bargaining unit. We’re fighting back and need your help: https://t.co/j92WIHjc4V
While we were reminding @aclu_dc bosses that they need to respect our union rights, we loved running into @ZacharyforWard5 and @MatthewFrumin

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Ward 4. Our movement has always been about uplifting one another and bringing people together. We face an uncertain future today, but one thing for certain is I'll be fighting for Ward 4 and this city with all of me.

🚨 TODAY @councilofdc will vote on @CMBrookePinto "emergency" bill targeting protests in residential areas, Here’s why we say NO: 1️⃣ Unnecessary: DC already has noise laws. 2️⃣ Silences Voices: Infringe on our 1st Amendment 3️⃣ Selective Safety 📞 Call and tell them to VOTE NO🙅🏾♀️

Evictions in DC are close to a 10-yr high, yet @councilofdc votes today on a bill to restrict access to emergency rental assistance, saying too many people are avoiding eviction. Any reforms should protect people with legit claims for help.

Let’s be honest. If @KamalaHarris were serious about winning she wouldn’t be endorsing fracking as Chimney Rock drowns— she’d be endorsing an arms embargo and promising to prosecute Fossil Fuel Executives. #KamalaClimateDenier.

This is how far-right fascists came into power in the 20s & 30s, even though they were small minority parties. Liberal, centrist governments didn't want to share power with the left. So they elevated fascists thinking it was "strategic" & they could control them.

More than 600 arrests so far for nonviolent civil disobedience in #SummerofHeat's actions against @Citibank - the biggest funder of fossil fuel expansion on the planet. Listen to this elder.

There's a new standard for the working conditions at D.C. restaurants, thanks to Bazaar workers and their first union contract 👇🏾
We, the workers at The Bazaar by José Andrés, just voted 97% to ratify our first contract! We won raises across the board, affordable health care, transparency and fairness in the tipping policy, more paid sick and vacation days, fair scheduling, and more! 🧵
