Women working together is a powerful thing.

We organize strikes. We lead marches. We change the world.

And we use our union to make our voices heard! Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and virtually earlier this week for our Neighborhood Exchange event “Invisible Lines: The Legacy of Redlining in Chicago.” @marisa_novara @ChicagoDOH @DarleneOliver17 @Metroplanners @SWOPorg @LoyolaChicago @ChicagoCares #LIVEUNITED

[UNITE HERE @unitehere]

.@SodexoUSA: love doesn’t pay the bills!

We talked to the people we serve at stadiums, offices, universities & more to let them know we’re still fighting for raises and a fair contract.

[United For ALICE @United4ALICE]

While #BlackHistoryMonth is a time to honor the achievements of the Black community, we must also recognize that Black households are unfairly and disproportionately ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). Let's all do our part for racial equity. #UnitedForALICE
