We remember 2008 when the Wall Street CEOs said they could regulate themselves. Big banks got bailed out and working people lost their jobs, homes, pensions and savings. We can’t make the same mistake with unregulated AI and their big tech billionaires.

Ohio, you brought the HOUSE DOWN! Fired up to have shared the stage with @barackobama.bsky.social in Cleveland! We’re taking this energy all the way to Election Day. Let’s win this for @amyactonoh.bsky.social, @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social and every working family ready for change!

Amy Acton built her way up through hard work. Now billionaires are spending a fortune to tear her down. They can buy attack ads. They can’t erase her record or her roots. I am so proud to be in Cleveland for someone who knows what it means to work for a living.

Ohio ain’t for sale. The union members who packed tonight’s rally are making sure of it. Our brother Brian Poindexter spent 19 years as a union ironworker. He knows who he’s fighting for. Let’s send him to Congress. Knock doors. Vote early. Bring somebody with you.

Working people aren’t asking for luxury. We want some breathing room so we can actually live instead of barely making ends meet. Everything is too expensive. We need elected leaders who will create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires.

Everything really is bigger in Texas, including the strength and energy of our union family! We’re putting it all into electing our union brother James Talarico. Let’s get those early votes in!

Texas workers deserve elected leaders who stand with us on our picket lines, not ones whose billionaire donors pick our pockets. @jamestalarico.bsky.social stands with us. I’m in Texas today because working people have waited long enough for a senator who answers to us.

Billionaires are spending big to elect politicians who answer to them. We’re making calls to elect leaders who answer to everyday Americans. Help turn out the vote for working people. Join a phone bank:

TWO WEEKS until Election Day. Every door, every call, every vote counts. Let’s defeat the politicians selling us out and instead elect leaders who fight for us. https://betterinaunion.org/

The billionaires want to buy this election. We have worker power. Early voting opens TODAY in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, South Carolina and Texas. Let’s put working people’s power on the ballot. Make your plan to vote:

Cheering on our WNBPA union sisters on the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries as they tip off the WNBA Finals tonight! Proud to see union women at the top of their game.

I’m proud to stand with union candidates who have spent their lives fighting for working people. From the bargaining table to the ballot box, they know whose side they’re on. Let’s get them elected.

Remember when we were told gas would drop below $2? Instead, we’ve had a record 158 straight days above $4. We have every right to be furious. We’re paying more at the pump while told lies about how great the economy is.

Tripling union membership could put $7,700 more a year in the typical worker’s pocket. That’s money for rent, groceries and a little breathing room. Working people don’t need another lecture about budgeting. They need the power to bargain for more.

Shit’s too expensive. Trump promised to bring prices down. Instead, his reckless agenda has driven costs up leaving working people stuck paying the bill. Let’s do something about it on November 3rd.

College athletes deserve a strong voice on the job and a say in their working conditions. But the Protect College Sports Act would deny college athletes these rights. We urge the House of Representatives to stand with athletes and vote NO on this bill. https://bit.ly/4dFttLj

I grew up in Oregon. Happy to help Susan Collins’ allies find Maine on a map. Once they get there, they’ll find working people ready to elect Troy Jackson.

Today is the voter registration deadline in Kansas, Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon and West Virginia! Make sure your voice is heard in this year's midterm elections. Check your registration and make a plan to vote: betterinaunion.org/check

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor Native communities and their enduring fight for sovereignty. Our labor movement stands with Indigenous workers organizing for dignity on the job and a voice in their future. Solidarity means showing up for that fight.

Nearly 20 years coming to Tradeswomen Build Nations, and I still leave fired up. What started as a few hundred of us is now thousands of women opening doors for each other and changing our unions. It’s inspiring to be a part of this network of powerful union sisters.

North Carolina and Oklahoma: TODAY is your deadline for voter registration. Working people have the power to elect leaders who will fight for us. Make sure you’re registered so you can vote and help make it happen: betterinaunion.org/check

Big Tech billionaires want free rein to reshape our jobs and our lives. Working people shouldn’t have to live with whatever they decide. We need elected leaders who will stand with us and fight for AI guardrails that protect our jobs and our rights.

Latina Equal Pay Day marks the nine extra months Latinas must work to earn what white, non-Hispanic men earned last year. More than nine months just to catch up. Latinas deserve better, and our unions won’t stop fighting to close that gap.

Trump is promising “big surprises” from radical Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. Working people’s freedoms, rights and livelihoods are not a guessing game. Our unions are ready to fight back and make sure our voices are heard at the polls.

Congratulations to our union brother Troy Jackson on tonight’s debate against Susan Collins. That’s what a fighter for working people looks like. The people of Maine deserve that in Washington.

In these final four weeks, we’re laying it all on the line to elect pro-worker candidates—including for a record number of union members. Workers are ready to fight for an economy, a government and a country for the people, not the billionaires.

If you live in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee or Texas, your voter registration deadline is TODAY. Make sure you’re registered and make a plan to vote:

Thank you, educators! You fight every day for the schools our kids deserve and make our unions stronger. On #WorldTeachersDay and every day, we’re proud to stand with you.

On the heels of AI guardrail bills like No Robot Bosses & No Fakes, it’s promising to see @repcasar.bsky.social's AI Tax & Work Protection Act & @captmarkkelly.bsky.social's Make AI Work for Working Americans Act to counter AI disruptions & drive the conversation to making workers’ lives better.

Shit’s too expensive. Working people are barely scraping by while having to fight for raises and protect their health care. We deserve pay that covers the cost of living and the bargaining power to demand it.

A bunch of rich CEOs want to play God and make decisions that affect every worker in this country. How about we just implement meaningful guardrails on AI?

Voting should be simple and easy, but if something goes wrong, you have rights. This year, it’s more important than ever to be prepared. Take a minute to read and share this with someone else before they head to the polls:

The Senate votes TOMORROW on the Protect College Sports Act. It’s a bill written by and for the bosses to put new obstacles in the way for athletes organizing a union. Senators should stand with them and vote NO. https://act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns/protect-college-athletes/

Congratulations on an incredible WNBA career, Nneka Ogwumike. Thank you for fighting for your union sisters as president of the WNBPA and showing what it means to lead on and off the court.

Y’all heard me. NO CONTRACT. NO COFFEE. ☕️ Support the boycott. Support the workers. 💜 #BoycottStarbucks @sbworkersunited.org

Workers are the experts on their jobs. That’s why unions are leading the way on AI, bargaining for a say in how it’s used at work every step of the way.

Democracy is strongest when everyone can vote and every ballot is counted. This election, we’re taking action to protect that right. Sign the pledge and join us:

*9 to 5* may have been a comedy, but for so many of us women fighting for respect on the job, it felt all too real. Dolly helped make us laugh at the boss and imagine what we could change together. Happy 9 to 5 Day! We miss you, Dolly.

Trump wants to brag about tax breaks—but working people are feeling the pain that his big bill made health care costs skyrocket and everything is more expensive.

November 3rd is right around the corner and early voting has already started in many states. Make your plan to vote today:

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all who observe. May this day of reflection and atonement bring peace, healing and renewed hope for the year ahead.

Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas could have been written by the trade union movement. His call to put human dignity at the center of technological change is a powerful affirmation of what working people will continue to fight for.

On National Tradesperson Day, we honor the skilled workers who keep this country running. Their work deserves strong unions, safe jobs and pay that reflects the value of their craft.

Fox News’ polling shows that voters across party lines agree: It has become too damn expensive to live. Working people don’t need another lecture about how great the economy is. We need elected leaders who will actually bring down costs and raise wages.

Tech billionaires want free rein to reshape our workplaces while workers face the consequences. Absolutely not. Working people must have real power over how AI is used. Big Tech doesn’t own our future.

The Senate blocked the CLARITY Act, stopping a bill that could have put workers’ pensions and retirement savings at risk while letting crypto companies play by their own rules. A huge win for working people!
