[Promise of Justice Initiative Union @PJIUnion_NOLSW]

Earlier this year, @JusticesPromise lived up to its values by agreeing to voluntarily recognize our workers’ union. We are so proud of our management and of our team, and we can’t wait to get started in helping PJI to continue growing and thriving in this movement for justice.

[Promise of Justice Initiative @JusticesPromise]

We are proud to announce that, shortly before Ida hit, we took the first step towards a process for voluntarily recognizing a staff union at PJI. We look forward to continuing to do good work and making PJI stronger together.

BREAKING: Rep. Andy Levin’s staff has voted to form the first union in the history of Congress.

[Promise of Justice Initiative Union @PJIUnion_NOLSW]

We have an Executive Committee!! Congratulations Claude-Michael Comeau (president), Amber Thorpe (VP), Rebecca Ramaswamy (secretary/treasurer), Sara Gozalo (steward), and Michael Cahoon (grievance handler)!

[RAICESUNION @RAICESTXUNION]

BREAKING: On the eve of RAICES' new CEO second of month at work, we have yet to receive a single communication from her.

Instead, she has been busy meeting with anti-union law firms, and crisis management groups, instead of addressing us, the workers, directly.

Wise words from a friend today:

"There's a selfishness that the pandemic has exposed that I can never unsee"

[Chaos Bride Kyelaag @Monstrous_Fest]

Folks are talking about police a bunch, and that's something I might actually be able to provide context for.

Police are never, and will never be, required to endanger themselves in any way for any reason. This has been litigated thoroughly.

Breaking: Undergraduate students at Grinnell College just won the first wall-to-wall undergraduate union in the United State in a landslide 327 to 6 vote.

The union will cover every hourly student workplace, in dining halls & elsewhere on campus.

You don't support unions if you don't support the union in your own organization. Period.

[Louisiana Survivors for Reform @LSReform]

We are just 5 days out from Survivors of Violence Lobby Day in Baton Rouge! We are so looking forward to coming together in this space to build fellowship and community with one another, and to make our voices heard during National Crime Victims' Rights Week. #NCVRW #lalege

[Louisiana Survivors for Reform @LSReform]

Thank you to the survivors who came to testify in favor of HB 648 today and bravely shared their stories. The bill passed favorably out of committee!! Huge shout out to author Rep Hilferty @Nola_Hilf for her legislation that supports crime victims!!! #advocacyheals #lalege

"The death penalty makes it so that the loss of some lives is more important than others.
If you vote in favor of the death penalty, don't say that it's for survivors." -Katie Hunter Lowrey, crime survivor organizer, @LSReform #EndtheDeathPenalty

HEART BURSTING 😍

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

There's legislation in California to shorten the workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours without a reduction in pay, which would be the most transformative labor legislation in our generation, and it should be bigger news... but it barely made a headline.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

hey what’re the most garbage takes you’ve seen about white collar workers’ organizing and/or the idea of what kind of workers “don’t need” a union

[Meathead, Esq. @Meathead_Esq]

Public defenders: "I'm having a hard time because of my impossible caseload." Supervisors: "Sounds like you need to take better care of your mental health!"

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: David beats Goliath! In a historic victory, Amazon workers in Staten Island win the first U.S. Amazon union.

@AmazonLabor and workers at the JFK8 warehouse overcame extreme union-busting to make history.

[Karen Weise @KYWeise]

BREAKING: There we have it, the tally of votes at Amazon's Staten Island warehouse
2654 YES to recognize a union
2131 NO

The biggest union victory in at least a generation has come from the upstart @amazonlabor

More to come w @noamscheiber @nytimes
