🚨 Farm workers are striking July 16–18

They demand an end to ICE raids & a path to citizenship for every undocumented worker who feeds this country.

They strike in honor of Jaime Alanís, who died fleeing abductors.

❌ Don’t shop.
❌ Don’t work.
🔥 Stand with them.
Donated. We are with you in California.
Oh look. Hegseth is proposing to do exactly this. The military swears an oath to the Constitution. I wonder why they want to trim the military by getting rid of 4 star generals?

He’s in the Opus Dei extremist cult btw. Very anti-Vatican II social justice, unsurprisingly.
5000 people at the Santa Rosa CA protest. Our reps were with us. I could feel my country again for one day. Much of the work happens in our groups and our faith communities but this is where we show up and share about what we are doing and let people know what they can do. We are in this together.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.
Called my reps today and said Al Green is the kind of fighter we as dem citizens are looking for. He understands the moment we are in. Said I was very disappointed in Jeffries admonishing dem reps and for dems participating in the censure of Green. I will vote accordingly.
Called my reps in the morning and asked for a walkout. Nothing is going to happen under Schumer and Jeffries. .
We need new dem leadership. This guy is never going to get it.
Definitely! Come on dems be clever! I’ve heard that constituents are pasting the face of their rep to a chair and holding a town hall anyway. If our reps, candidates, or the dem candidate that lost showed up and let the constituents know what they would do we would own the narrative.
Ugh yes. I just expected better
Totally agree. They understand the assignment and really care about their constituents.
No I’m not surprised by our repugnant reps vile racism but I sure as fuck want to know why several democratic reps voted to censure him. Truth to power Al Green! We see you and the people are with you.
He def acts like Putin’s asset. This has to be illegal and unconstitutional. What an utter failure of human being. Someone needs to tell him that he is not working his way towards that Nobel peace prize he wants so much.
