From #Missoula County Dems: "Yesterday UFP Edge announced a layoff of about 100 employees from its facility in the Bonner Industrial Park. If you or someone you know is affected, they should know to not voluntarily resign before the layoff, so they stay eligible for unemployment assistance." (1/3)

This is why you should join our LA chapter and all the partner organizations in their campaign to boycott Home Depot (among many other reasons)
Screenshot of GSUS Los Angeles’ bluesky post about their boycott against Home Depot in coalition with about 40 organizations. The post reads Hey Los Angeles! Union del Barrio @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social, General Strike LA and 40 other groups are joining together to boycott Home Depot.
Sign the petition, pledging you will boycott Home Depot until the demands are met.
The top of a photo below the text has a photo of a Home Depot with big red letters reading boycott. On a black background with white text below the photo reads GSUS LA, Union del Barrio and a coalition of about 40 organizations are uniting behind a boycott of Home Depot for 4 demands

Protecting Montanans is a foreign concept to Daines and Sheehy. They don't give a damn about us - they proved it when they sold Montanans out with their "yes" vote. #mtpol
DAINES AND SHEEHY ONCE AGAIN FAILED TO STAND UP FOR WORKING MONTANANS AND THEIR FAMILIES BY VOTING IN FAVOR OF TRUMP'S DUMPSTER FIRE, BILLIONAIRE-FIRST BUDGET.MDP statement on GOP passage of budget bill: Daines and Sheehy know well that this budget will strip away tens of thousands of Montanans of their health insurance and food assistance. Hospitals and clinics in Montana will be forced to cut back service or even close their doors, disproportionately impacting rural Montana and indigenous communities. Not to mention, this bill will kill good-paying jobs and explode the national deficit all in the name of providing tax breaks for billionaires. 

Daines and Sheehy have proven once again they don’t give a damn about Montanans, but Democrats in Montana will not stop fighting and are mobilizing to hold Republicans accountable everywhere. The stakes have never been higher.” - Interim Executive Director, Justin Ailport

URGENT 🚨 ‼️ Protest happening at the #Helena Police Department. More folks are on the way. It was only a matter of time until ICE got here. And they won’t stop with just one or two detainees. You want more than once a month protests? Show the heck up for your immigrant neighbors. #MTpol #MTnews
Reddit post reading I am at the Helena Police Dept now (4:15, 406 Fuller).
What I know for sure:
There is an immigrant detained here
There are ten citizens and a journalist, here in the lobby
The mayor was here; I believe he went upstairs to talk to someone
The desk sergeant came to talk to us about 10 minutes He said the lieutenant was upstairs trying to figure out what is going on, and that he would come down to speak with us at some point. Here is what the people who were here before me say they learned
The man is an immigrant. His wife is a citizen.
The only infraction anyone knows about are two recent traffic violations. If you can, please come down. Things are calm and friendly, the lobby is cool.

Overwhelmed by the news? Every Monday, we're breaking down one key issue in Montana or Washington into a simple message to send your elected officials. This week: Senators, protect Montanans for once by voting no on the budget bill. #mtpol
Monday Messaging. Take five minutes this week to participate in democracy. We made it easy! Message: Cutting trillions in funding for food assistance and healthcare is not protecting Montanans. Forcing rural hospitals to close is not protecting Montanans. Adding over $3 trillion to the national debt is not protecting Montanans. Raising taxes on working families to give billionaires tax breaks is not protecting Montanans. You are not protecting the people of Montana. And we are watching. Vote no on the budget bill or we'll find someone who WILL protect us. Call your elected officials! Demand a no vote on the GOP budget.

Why is community support important for union action ❓ Over the decades, successful labor action has typically included the support of community members outside of the union. This can look like signing petitions, going to picket lines and rallies, helping with food for strikers, and more. 🧵
