🚨 SF EMERGENCY ACTION — JUNE 9 @ 12 PM 🚨

📍 Join communities in San Francisco for an emergency action in solidarity with LA’s immigrant communities and our immigrant neighbors right here in the Bay Area.

An attack on one is an attack on us all.

Our message was impossible to ignore during the
@MayDaySanJose rally on International Workers' Day.

Nearly 2,000 allies marched in solidarity for workers, immigrants, and families, honoring the historic struggles and victories of the labor movement.

California’s future belongs to all of us—regardless of the election results. Now’s the time to stand against corporate billionaires, bigots, and authoritarian bullies. We won't let them use fear and hatred to divide us. Join our movement: https://t.co/aMYxGwmNxe #WeAreCalifornia

Ever feel like elections are more about donors than voters?

In San Jose, corporations are tipping the scales, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s push for real campaign finance reform and make every voice count.

"Proposition 36 on the Nov. 5 ballot would disproportionately hurt Black and Brown TGI (Transgender, Gender-variant, and Intersex) communities by pushing more of us into incarceration while leaving the programs that keep us safe severely underfunded." https://t.co/V1wlPri2cL

👻 Imagine a CA where affordable housing and infrastructure developments are indefinitely stalled! 👻

Don't let our state turn into a ghost town—with no life in our neighborhoods and no who can afford to live in them. 🏡💀 YES on Prop 5 to keep California livable!

Regional Measure 4 (RM4) was removed from the November ballot, costing our community a potential $4.6 billion in affordable housing. Despite this challenge, our commitment to advancing housing justice in Santa Clara County and the broader region remains unwavering.

Great news for California's fast food workers and our community! Fast food corporations want us to believe that paying workers fairly will hurt the economy, but the facts tell a different story. Learn more from @LATimes. #MinimumWage
