Pres. Saunders was on @ms.now to talk about why we're marching. Tomorrow, AFSCME members are joining #NoKings events nationwide to fight back against rising prices & cuts to public services, while billionaires enjoy tax breaks at our expense. Enough is enough.

This speech can be summed up so far as no bread and circuses. He’s hoping a hockey team and the World Cup will distract from how they’ve cut our health care, cut food support, attacked Social Security and done nothing to address the affordability crisis.

90% of Armett's families rely on federal funding to afford care—funding the administration is illegally trying to withhold. Instead of taking steps to fix the affordability crisis, the White House's efforts would hurt working parents, children and child care providers. We demand more.

The Trump administration's decision to eliminate the Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent agency that reviews federal workers' appeals to mass firings, is blatantly rigging the system. The communities that rely on an impartial public service workforce will pay the price.

Is that what the Trump administration calls gutting the union rights of over 400,000 workers? Trump hasn’t put “American workers first.” He's been the union-buster in chief.

If one person doesn't have due process, none of us do.
An image in red, white, and black is titled, "So far, Trump's masked ICE agents have abducted or detained:". It includes a bulleted list of individuals allegedly affected: U.S. citizens, kids with cancer, legal residents, a queer makeup artist, kids in foster care, high school students, tourists, busboys and waitresses, college activists, a union leader, a congressional aide, and a Democratic mayor. To the right of the list is a collage of black-and-white photos depicting a close-up of a person's eyes, a makeup palette, an agent in tactical gear holding a crying toddler, an agent grabbing a screaming woman, an officer in a mask with "ERO" on his vest, a backpack with school supplies, and a person on the ground being detained. At the bottom, bold red text states: "Everyone has a right to due process. Trump's use of ICE is unaccountable and dangerous."
