RAPP’s leadership & members have collectively survived centuries of incarceration––centuries of the state’s racist violence, as depicted in the horrific videos released today of guards at Marcy Prison murdering Robert Brooks with their bare hands. We have a few thoughts to share:
Unions are fundamental to a just, multiracial #democracy.
Proud to co-author this #LaborDay2024 op-ed with my friend @SEIUPres.

.@UNRWA shelters in #Gaza and northern Gaza are no longer safe. This is unprecedented.
This war should be no exception, protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, including United Nations buildings, applies to this conflict too.
Wars have rules.
I'm honored to accept Gov. @GavinNewsom's nomination to be U.S. Senator for a state I have made my home and honored by his trust in me to serve the people of California and this great nation. 🧵
Far from running for cover, the best thing for Democrats to do—both morally and politically—is to lean in, speak out, and support trans kids and their families.

For the first time in modern history, a sitting United States President is going to walk a picket line. This is a historic moment of solidarity and a new dawn of the American labor movement. Thank you @POTUS! #StandUpUAW
From abortion rights to trans rights, freedom over our bodies is fundamental to every other freedom, and American voters are fed up as they watch their fundamental rights disappear. In a fight this consequential, Democrats must not only show up, but win.

In a new piece for @thenation, I outline why it is time for Democrats to stand up for trans kids—and win.
This is a moral call. But it is also a strategy for victory. The American people are behind us. It’s time to go on offense.

Don’t tell me organizing doesn’t work.
Young people have relentlessly driven the climate and gun violence prevention agendas and their hard work is paying off:
American Climate Corps and Gun Violence Prevention Office—all in one week.
Thank your local youth organizer today.
Unions are the backbone of a just and multiracial #democracy.
Excited to follow this new, in-depth series on worker organizing from @capitalandmain, launching just in time for #LaborDay2023.

What's the through line between anti-#trans legislation, #abortion bans, and laws targeting critical race theory? A campaign to destroy #democracy.
Thanks to Nan D. Hunter and @thenation for connecting the dots.
