Run For Something and Run For Something United officially ratified a CBA.

We want to recognize our former colleagues who had the courage to start the unionization process at RFS two years ago. We are so grateful for the path you set!

🚨: Wednesday, Run For Something announced the 2nd round of layoffs in less than a year. 35% of staff will be laid off, effective Nov 30. 63% of RFS United members were affected, including every member of the organizing committee.

(Yes, we are in the middle of bargaining.)🧵

We are committed to holding RFS leadership accountable and working with them to implement measures that will better protect both our staff and the critical work of building a progressive political bench. 5/5

When our union was first recognized in December 2023, we stood proud at 27 members. In less than one year, our bargaining power has been reduced to 6 union members.

We will show up at the bargaining table in good faith to ensure our workers have the protections they need. 4/5

@ZohranKMamdani Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

Last month, Run for Something laid off a fifth of its staff -14 people- a month after recognizing @RFSUnited

These individuals worked tirelessly to elect 1,000+ young progressives to state and local office across the US.

It's been just over a week since 14 of our colleagues, including 10 of our members, were laid off from Run for Something. We've raised about 30% of our fundraising goal to support these folks as they look for new opportunities.

I am shocked by @runforsomething’s decision to lay off talented operatives! They’ve played an urgent role supporting young progressive candidates — this includes me and many of my @NYCCouncil colleagues.

I stand in unwavering solidarity with @RFSUnited workers who have worked tirelessly to support progressive candidates in the face of dark money and a rising fascist movement. They deserve better.

@RFSUnited isnt it odd to layoff a bunch of staff during an election year for a voting/election focused org?

[Kate Oh @kathoh]

Even among hypocritically anti-worker progressive nonprofits, as many progressive nonprofits are, this one sounds especially bad and blatant. Ick
