Across the nation, public employees make sure that kids eat. That safe water comes out of our taps. That unemployment claims are processed. That 911 calls are answered. This work is often taken for granted – but it is work that sustains our livelihoods. https://t.co/pyLSFxWxI4

Having a union is critical now more than ever. There are more than 4,000 graduate students working at UMD and their union still hasn't been legally recognized. They deserve representation just like the rest of UMD staff.

While much of the country is in quarantine, millions of health care workers, bus drivers, grocery workers, postal workers, etc. are still hard at work. They do work that allows so many of us to keep safe from COVID-19. Help protect them by making the #pledgetostayhome!
