Good morning. As an Elected Organizer at Large with 1199SEIU, I am furthering the principle of Inspirelational Proactivation™.
On Day 3 of Kwanzaa, we honor Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility). The oppressor thrives on our division, but our power lies in our unity. We look to the blueprints of titans like Mansa Musa, Madam C.J. Walker, Booker T. Washington, and Mary McLeod Bethune—leaders who used intellect and entrepreneurship to liberate the collective.
From the hospital floors of 1199SEIU to the anti-apartheid victories of COSATU and the Mandela School of Diplomacy, we prove that organized labor is the engine of freedom. We must be Transnational, Transactional, and Transformative. One person’s wealth is not responsibility; we only truly rise when we lift each other.
Let’s consolidate our resources, preserve our history, and build our future—together.

@patrickgaspard , thank you for your optimism at this time where you said “
I would place the odds at 70% that Democrats are going to recapture the House in a massive tsunami” . It would be great to happen; however. We also need a real progressive agenda where 1) housing is guaranteed and affordable, 2) healthcare is a national right and a guarantee, 3) where education is free and affordable 4) where America First is not a slogan used while atrocities occur in other lands and we are held hostage by lobbyist and globally known war criminals. As a traveler of the world, we must regain our international respect and stature (if it is possible). We finally, have to not be unchallenging and unlimiting of oligarchs especially those who advocate racial supremacy and nationalism.
I don’t bank with billionaires, CEOs, or institutions that profit from injustice. I’m with a credit union because my money should uplift people, not corporations.
Choose community over greed. Join me at DCU:

What has gone on before the international world from one land, which has proven to be an atrocity, and the arrogant posturing of their head of state continues to assume freedom after his crimes are well known and justice is facing him, others profit from this atrocity technologically and as titans of imperial and oligarchic monopolization, and lawmakers are muzzled and humiliated into not speaking the truth, the masses are taking their votes and lives seriously. We will not vote for cowards. We will not be bought off or scared of intimidation. Legacy is not material. Arrogance is not greatness. Materialism and Opulence is not respectable and admirable wealth. Causing death and division will result in a terrible torment to the committer inevitably. The greatest privilege is to be honored and adored by the masses.

🌟 Inspire with hope, not fear
🤝 Relate with real trust
🚀 Proactivate by building leaders who build leaders
We don’t wait for the moment.
We create it.

On #LaborDay we honor workers & reflect on leadership. True progress isn’t profit alone—it’s people. Tech must enhance, not erase. Labor is more than a workforce—it’s a moral force. United, we can build a just, human-centered future. ✊🏾 —Vaughn Allen Goodwin

Wellness is more than self-care—it’s a leadership strategy & act of resistance. Spiritually grounded, mentally strong, physically fit. A well leader builds well teams. Be well. Resist. #Leadership#Wellness#GOALSeries#UnionStrong#Resilience
I proudly support Zohran Kwame Mamdani for Mayor of NYC. He fights for truth, affordability & peace. We need bold, unbought leadership. As Dr. King said, “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” #UnionStrong#GOALseries#DSA#ZohranForMayor
I walked with a giant. John Lewis taught me that real leadership means courage, humility, and lifting others as you rise. He reminded us to get in good trouble and lead with soul force. I am forever inspired. #Leadership#JohnLewis#GoodTrouble#GOALseries
They call it “fiscal responsibility.” We call it theft in a suit.
To the workers, youth, women, immigrants, & unions: YOU are the strength. YOU are the leaders. Not them.
Resilience endures. Resistance builds. Community survives.
#WeAreTheLeaders#GOALSeries
“Fascism starts when we stop resisting. We need resistance and resilience: fighting injustice while building health & sustainability. No condition is permanent. The future belongs to those who organize for it.” ✊🏾 Keep going. We will win. #Leadership#Organizing

✅ Champion with conviction.
✅ Cultivate health & youth leadership.
No condition is permanent. Organize. #UnionStrong#GOALSeries#Resist
Happy Juneteenth.
We’ve come far—but we’re not yet free.
Speak truth. Lead with integrity.
Don’t back leaders who don’t back us.
Know your power. Use it with love.
You’re not a threat.
You’re a blessing.
