Sign your name: Tell the Senate to pass the PRO Act

If we pass the PRO ACT, it could very well lead to a once-in-a-generation, revolutionary surge in union organizing — working toward an end to the abuse, harassment, low wages, and unsafe working conditions too many American workers are facing today. John, The pandemic we've bee…

It has taken a tremendous amount of organizing to get to where we are today on raising the minimum wage — and we can get it done if we push a little harder.

Making ends meet on $7.25 an hour is impossible enough. Trying to balance it all while being forced to work through a global pandemic is like a punch in the gut. John, Making ends meet on $7.25 an hour is impossible enough. Trying to balance it all while being forced to …

Democrats should do more in 2021 than Republicans did in 2020 — not less

The American people voted for more relief this year — and they're expecting Democrats to use their mandate and get it done. So why are some of those same Democrats trying so hard to deliver less relief in the name of bipartisanship and "unity"? John, The American people voted f…

The fight for accountability is just getting started

There can be no reconciliation or compromise with Nazis, white nationalists, fascists, and those who enable them. Their ideology seeks only power and demands only surrender. John, it's been a little over a month since white supremacist insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Cap…
