Workers are struggling to make ends meet. Many classified workers cannot afford to live where they work, and many go into debt to make ends meet. Tell university presidents: classified workers need a contract they can afford! secure.ngpvan.com/fwyu6oyykUKn...

On Tuesday, members of the Working Families Caucus called on their colleagues to join them in rejecting Trump’s tax giveaways to mega-corporations to protect funding for schools, health care, housing supports, and childcare. We agree: It’s time to put working families first! @owfp.bsky.social
"Lawmakers urged their colleagues to protect programs that help working families afford everyday costs by strategically disconnecting from costly and ineffective federal tax giveaways for ultra-wealthy individuals and larger corporations."
