Greg Abbott and the anti-worker extremists in Texas’ Congressional delegation want to take voting power from working people by redrawing Congressional districts.

A win for education! After pressure from workers, lawmakers, and communities, the administration is releasing $5B in critical education funding that supports educators and students alike. https://t.co/G15DC2lj3W

As Texans recover from the recent floods, we have compiled a list of resources for affected counties, available to both union members and the general public.

Visit https://t.co/yXrF605qga to view the list.

[Travis County TX @TravisCountyTX]

Please help spread the word about resources for those affected by flooding! ⬇️

[Travis County TX @TravisCountyTX]

🚨 UPDATE: Travis County Judge Andy Brown has issued a disaster declaration in response to severe flooding.

It will help coordinate debris removal, search and rescue operations, aid for displaced residents, and state/federal support.

[AFSCME 1624 @AFSCME1624]

Our hearts go out to all impacted by the devastating floods sweeping through our Central TX communities. We urge everyone to stay safe and follow the guidance of our first responders and public service workers who never quit on our communities, even in the toughest of times.

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

Congress just sold out working families to hand another tax break to billionaires who don't need them.

We will hold every elected official accountable who voted to betray our communities and hurt working people.

Remember this when kids are going hungry, when seniors and their families can't afford long-term care, when you get those higher medical and energy bills every month. And remember the tax cut they gave billionaires like Jeff Bezos when he throws himself another $50 million party.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Trump’s budget bill:

💊 16+ million people could lose health care
💸 Health care will become more expensive
⚡️ Energy bills will rise
🛒 Families will pay more for food

All to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Please spread the word with friends and family.

[Texas AFL-CIO @TexasAFLCIO]

If Trump's multi-trillion-dollar tax bill is passed:
❌ 17M people will lose health care
❌ Millions will lose food assistance
❌ Public service jobs will be cut

All to give billionaires more tax breaks. ☎️ Call your representative & tell them to vote NO: https://t.co/dH4Pr1awmZ

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

America's unions cannot overstate the Senate budget reconciliation bill's overwhelming harm for working families. We condemn the @SenateGOP for doubling down on a bill that raises costs, wipes out jobs, and rips health care away from 17 million people.
https://t.co/gBVaDDSNRP

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

We are deeply disappointed the Senate passed a dangerous budget that guts health care, slashes food aid, and raises costs for working families — just to hand billionaires more tax breaks. Now the bill goes back to the House.

Tell them: VOTE NO https://t.co/VzHrcG4YrK
