Hear me out. You deserve a government that invests in 👉🏿 you. My name is Conrad Blackburn. I am running for Assembly in Harlem to bring the power back to the people. I’ll be outside on the corner of 125th and Lenox—every Saturday. We outside. Link 🔗 in bio to donate.

Solidarity isn’t symbolic—it should never be silenced or blocked. Share in the replies new ways to communicate with the BxD “Leadership Team”* in support of terminated workers!

We remain steadfast in supporting targeted members. But this week @bronxdefenders appeared to block worker-mgmt comms by rejecting solidarity emails in support of targeted workers like Sophia, whose arbitration remains ongoing ~7 months after she was unjustly fired. (1/2)

[🦋🦋🦋 @s_phia_]

can confirm not only was @ConradforHarlem essential in first organizing @BxDUnion, but he is responsible for organizing me into the union drive way back when. We then both served on BxD Union exec board. Love the guy, he’s a good man and I hope people pull up for him and Harlem.

“From organizing his coworkers to found @BxDUnion in @alaa2325, to serving on his shop’s executive board, to now running for State Assembly, @ConradforHarlem embodies UAW values. We can't wait for another fighter for justice to fight with us in Albany.”

The City Council staff union is gathering with other unions to call for council members to not lay off or dismiss staff during a reorganization period coming up in January.

CM Tiffany Cabán just swung by to speak in support of their call

[UAW Region 9A @UAWRegion9A]

Our NYC CAP Council proudly voted to endorse our own @alaa2325 & @BxDUnion member @ConradforHarlem as our first endorsement in the 2026 cycle for State Assembly in District 70.

Conrad is a public defender, a @UAW member-leader, & a committed fighter for the working class.

The Bx Times covered Sophia’s wrongful termination. The truth is clear: this is a violent act of intimidation against workers and the communities we represent, and part of a pattern of targeting BxD workers for unjust discipline & termination. Read more @ https://t.co/0HK9r7bb9y

Press Release: Union Statement on the Unjust Termination and Disparate Treatment of Sophia Gurulé

[The Bronx Defenders Union - UAW Local 2325 @BxDUnion]

The @bronxdefenders began the summer engaging in union-busting tactics, including targeting longtime BxD worker and @alaa2325 leader Sophia Gurulé for termination without just cause. Consider supporting her as she prepares to defend herself at arbitration: https://t.co/EY6vw2YpAW

[The Bronx Defenders Union - UAW Local 2325 @BxDUnion]

On Friday, with 88% participation, 97% of voting members chose to ratify our tentative wage agreement. We'll be back to bargain our full contract in 2026, ready to keep fighting for better working conditions and better representation for the people of the Bronx!

Joined the picket line at Brooklyn Housing Court this morning with my sisters and brothers from @UAWRegion9A @alaa2325 @clswu2325. These attorneys and paralegals do frontline work protecting my constituents from eviction and deportation. They deserve a living wage!
