Members of the press: today we are picketing from 12-2 at multiple Legal Aid offices around NYC. Check out our press release here: https://t.co/KB4N9w02AN
Our @alaa2325 / @LegalAid1199 joint picket today was straight fire. Rent, inflation, student debt are all too damn high. We deserve a fair contract from @LegalAidNYC now. Survival is insufficient. We deserve to thrive!
See everyone on the picket line tomorrow!
First joint action between @alaa2325 & @1199SEIU in a long time—public/indigent defense attorneys/staff have been out of contract for over a year.
Lunchtime, 1-2 PM. All five boroughs
In NYC.
We’re heating up!

.@GM finally came back with a counterproposal to the economic demands #UAW members made more than a month ago. As President Fain said, it’s “an insulting proposal that doesn’t come close to an equitable agreement for America’s autoworkers.” See the side-by-side comparison.
Eric Adams' fearmongering and continuous crime panic about the people who have the least among us while sucking on the toes of billionaires and bleeding the city dry is nasty work and we must fight it.
NEW: Joint Statement from @legalaidnyc & @NYHomeless on @NYCMayor's remarks that the influx of new arrivals “will destroy New York City.”
"Mayor Adams’ remarks are reckless and unproductive fear-mongering."
