🚨BREAKING 🚨 @HSBC just announced that they’re going to stop lending money to any new oil and gas projects. This is huge. And it’s only happening due to pressure from thousands of people across the climate movement and beyond. Here’s why it’s important🧵1/8
@TPINunion Last summer my team & I faced regular intense storms & extreme heat. Canvassers got sick and almost got struck by lightning but we were told we had to keep canvassing. If a director doesn’t have the power to keep their team safe, what power do they have? #Fight4theFund

More than 80% of eligible staff signed cards in support of unionizing.
BREAKING: We are thrilled to share that we have reached an agreement with @TPINNetwork management for voluntary recognition through third party card check!
We look forward to building on this progress as we craft a stronger organization together 🥳
In 1971, students had a vision for a cleaner, healthier, more meaningful future. In this spirit, they formed The Public Interest Network. Today’s students leading this movement join over 70% of union-eligible employees in voicing their support for The Public Interest Union.
Day 22 of solidarity: we are ready to win an election. But it's still not too late for @TPINNetwork to voluntarily recognize our growing supermajority...we just received 2 more authorization cards from staff who are ready for an even stronger Public Interest Network. #Blue4TPIU
Our request for voluntary recognition by 5 pm EST on 12/21 was not met. As outlined in our original email to management, today we filed for an election with the National Labor Relations Board! #Blue4TPIU
Student workers have always been at the heart of @TPINNetwork’s campaigns. Working for a good cause doesn’t negate the need for a union, or for workload & harassment protections—we congratulate @TPINunion on earning majority support, and call on management to recognize them!
Today, my colleagues and I stand in solidarity with workers at The Public Interest Network organizing with @OPEIU. ✊
An organization dedicated to progress for working people must respect its own workers’ right to organize.
We urge TPIN’s CEO to quickly recognize the union.
In our union, we believe that working together as a collective will help us become the strongest possible voice for the public. Here is our letter to leadership, read aloud.
We are employees of The Public Interest Network (TPIN) working together for more-than-living wages, an equitable social change movement, and a sustainable culture within our organization. That’s why we’ve filed for union recognition with @OPEIU to represent staff in all branches.
Fans I need your help! You all know how passionate Michigan women’s basketball is about ending breast cancer. We have the EASIEST way to fund research this month. Each RT of #wedrivefor = $5 donated. #wedrivefor survivors! Let’s raise $5,000. I need 1,000 RTs!
Last summer, bee keepers lost a record-breaking number of honey bees, and numbers are only predicted to get worse. We’re calling on @Amazon to take a stand and stop selling bee-killing neonics. #SaveTheBees 🐝
@amazon It’s time @Amazon stops selling bee-killing pesticides that are leading to bee die-offs. Amazon can make a big impact to save nature’s best pollinators by making a commitment to stop selling bee-killing pesticides! #SaveTheBees
