Get in, we're protecting our elections! Right now, politicians, judges, and federal agents are working to divide and intimidate us. Every eligible voter deserves to cast their ballot freely, safely, and without fear. The next No Kings is October 17th: www.nokings.org#map #NoKingsVoteEarly

Thank you Salewa! 👏👏👏 After six years of leading Pennsylvania Voice, Executive Director Salewa Ogunmefun has transitioned out of her role. From the very start of her tenure, Salewa has shared her intention to pave a path for the next chapter of Pennsylvania Voice.

Today, Black women are still earning roughly 65 cents for every dollar paid to white men, working nearly seven months longer just to catch up. Meanwhile, it takes billionaires less than 13 minutes to pull in what most workers earn over a lifetime. #LaborDay #WorkersOverBillionaires

Worker organizing and the labor movement it built have been crucial to workplace safety, fair working conditions and increasing participation in democracy. #LaborDay #LaborDay2026

History shows that organizing builds a fairer country. Rising costs and the feeling that no one in power listens can be overwhelming. We know there's a better road ahead. That's why today we honor the workers that organized before us, and we won't stop until we get an economy that works for us.
