We are witnessing an unprecedented number of demonstrations on college campuses and are encouraged to see so many people- particularly the energy and leadership from a new generation -- protesting for peace, against injustice, and taking real risk to make change.
As a labor union focused on creating change - often through demonstrations, @32BJSEIU steadfastly supports the right to peaceful protest. Protests are grounded in strongly held views and can be complicated and difficult on all sides. 1/3

BREAKING: LOCAL 80 WINS FIRST CONTRACT AT REANIMATOR COFFEEE!!!! 🎉🎉
After a marathon final negotiation session lasting over NINE hours, the PJB Local 80 ReAnimator Bargaining Committee settled a tentative agreement with owners of ReAnimator Coffee on December 14, 2023.
Keep in mind that’s just this for this fiscal year. For those following at home- this whole process starts again with the Gov’s budget address in February in a little more than 60 days.
BREAKING: The NLRB has ruled that if bosses commit unfair labor practices in the run-up to a union election then the election will be canceled and the Board will order the employer to immediately recognize and bargain with the union.
Union-busting just got a lot harder.
No matter how we move forward, this challenge shows how difficult it is to be a candidate with an independent voice and the threat the WFP poses to far-right special interests.
In the last 24 hours I received a challenge to my candidacy for the minority seat of the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office. We are reviewing the details of the challenge and will be making a decision as to how to move forward with our campaign. 🧵
I agree with my congressman @RepDwightEvans that “no one should be above the law in America” and “that’s especially true when it comes to a violent attempt to overturn a free and fair election.” Does the PA GOP agree?
Our team is building a powerful grassroots movement! In the Commissioner's Office I'll continue to be out in the community to make sure all Philadelphians have a chance to vote. If you haven't already, check out the features @phillyinquirer and @kywnewsradio wrote on our race!
Today, we submitted a record breaking nearly 22,000 signatures to get my Working Families Party family - me, @NicForPhilly and @JarrettBSmith - on the ballot.
I believe this will be the first of many records we are breaking this election cycle. #ForTheMany
🚨We just submitted OVER 21,000 (yes, twenty-one thousand) petitions to get our slate of working peoples champions — @kendraforphilly, @NicForPhilly + @JarrettBSmith — on the ballot in November😮💨‼️
“We organized. We spent our summer in the streets talking to voters to build such a large movement for our campaigns.” And we’ll continue organizing and building this movement all the way to November & beyond!
A slate of progressive third-party candidates filed nomination papers Monday to run for office in Philadelphia, pledging during a news conference to oust Republicans who they say “do not deserve governing power” in City Hall.
