Solidarity with our EPA workers! “They believe in the kind of work that they do,” Chen said. “When they’re gagged and have no rights, they’re unable to serve the American public, they can’t do their jobs and they can’t serve the agency’s mission.” More: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The current state leadership has cowed down to billionaires.” With proven pro-worker candidates at the helm, our schools could have the support they need to thrive. We need leaders that work with the experts—our families and educators, to help our students receive the education they deserve.

“He’s not for labor. He’s just for the rich.” While ignoring Texans’ needs, Greg Abbott has accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires. We need elected officials that protect working Texans, not out-of-state billionaires that keep rigging the system against us.
