"Musk is stealing from the entire American public, stealing our data. Stealing the services that we all rely on. They're going to use everything they supposedly save to justify massive tax cuts for themselves." -@FedWorkersUtd #SaveOurServices

[FedWorkersUnited @FedWorkersUtd]

On February 19, federal workers are sounding the alarm.

We expected a few thousand people to join our mass call last night. Over 40,000 showed up.

To every elected official: if you take the fight to Trump, the people will have your back.

We’ve said from the start that to win in November, Democrats need to rebuild the coalition that carried them to victory in 2020.

[Arab Americans For Progress @aaforprogress]

Today, we made an important announcement in response to Vice President Harris not meeting our requests for engagement and policy change. Pro-war forces like AIPAC may want to drive us out of the Democratic Party, but we’re here to stay. #NotAnotherBomb

60 years ago, the DNC refused to seat Fannie Lou Hamer & the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

We walk in that rich tradition of Black-led organizing that has achieved enormous progress & teaches us how to keep pushing for justice.

We’ll keep pushing. #NotAnotherBomb

Packed house for the Palestine panel at the DNC. This feels like a defining moment in so many ways. I saw so many wearing ceasefire pins, shirts, flags, and kuffiyehs in the halls too.

DNC Press Conference: Uncommitted delegates discuss why they are urging Vice President Harris to unite our party, which has been divided by Biden’s horrific Gaza policies, and stop sending American bombs to Netanyahu’s far-right Israeli government.

[Arab Americans For Progress @aaforprogress]

On Monday, for the first time in its history, the Democratic National Convention will hold a panel on Palestinian human rights. We thank the DNC for recognizing this pivotal issue and remain dedicated to pushing VP Harris to stop providing weapons for Israel's assault on Gaza.

[Arab Americans For Progress @aaforprogress]

"There is purposeful division happening, but I want to take this moment to emphasize that by standing together, we actually affirm the fight against anti-Black racism here in America and the fight against the Israeli occupation of Palestinians." #NotAnotherBomb

"It's felt extremely not just demoralizing, but crushing because I was a kid who survived US-funded Israeli bombs. I'm going to sleep most nights having nightmares being in the buildings being bombed now." -@AZAlawieh DNC Delegate from Michigan and co-founder of @UncommittedMvmt

[Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid]

Layla Elabed and Abbas Alawieh, founders of @UncommittedMvmt, discuss their exchange with Vice President @KamalaHarris yesterday in Detroit, Michigan and their request for a meeting to discuss the demands of Uncommitted voters and delegates.

For those of you who missed our @workingfamilies’ mass call with @_AshDashLee_ & @AyannaPressley I want to reiterate something I’ve been reflecting on:

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

Do you believe VP Kamala Harris doesn’t deserve misinformation or lies but should sustain critique and accountability?

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

Are you a principled person who doesn’t identify with the Democratic or Republican Parties, but you understand how electoral math works and want to make sure MAGA is defeated?

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

So I have a few questions for you:

Are you concerned about issues like climate change, public safety, the Netanyahu regime’s war crimes & slaughter of civilians in Gaza, and also recognize we need to stop fascism here at home through this election?

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

Today @workingfamilies is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for President. And we’re doing this in order to advance our work building a future where everyone can thrive.

Let’s be real: building that future gets much harder if the MAGA authoritarians win control.

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

I know so many are feeling the push and pull of this historic election. You may be wanting to tune in but also deeply skeptical of how your political choices will impact your *actual* life.

[Maurice Moe Mitchell 🐺 @MauriceWFP]

✨I’m excited to be in conversation with incredible movement leaders at @Netroots_Nation.

We’ll be talking: belonging, community, power & building durable movements. Join me and @desmondmeade & @irene_godinez on July 13 at 2:45 pm
