We stand in solidarity with our autoworker friends at Volkswagen working to unionize with @UAW.
Good luck with your vote this week; we're stronger together!
Today one of the most important union elections in modern American history begins.
Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee start to vote on joining the @UAW.
If they win it won't just be thousands more union members, it'll be a turning point for labor in America.
We're honored. Thank you @RoKhanna for your support, and for showing our leaders can fight to do right by workers while building a clean energy future!

I'm so excited to announce that @EvergreenAction is unionizing! Our team of 13 staff voted unanimously to join the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild.
We're looking forward to working with Evergreen leadership to negotiate a contract and build an even better organization.
NEW UNIONโผ๏ธ I was (+am) so proud to have helped my former colleagues @union_evergreen in their formation. Not only climate + clean energy experts, these folks are also badass leaders that understand the importance of living progressive values across all issues. Solidarity โพ๏ธ โ๐ผ
Evergreen is unionizing! Our staff voted unanimously to join the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild.
Evergreen is a great place to work, and our collective solidarity will help keep it that way. So excited to live out our values in support of a unionized clean energy transition.
In so many ways, @EvergreenAction represents what an NGO should be and I'm so grateful to be here.
This is our next big step in advancing the principles we fight for in our work every day!
#EvergreenUnion
We love @EvergreenAction enough to want it to be the best version it can be. And now, we have the opportunity to do that.
With a union, we will show our vision for what equitably tackling the climate crisis looks like.
And it starts here, with us.
.@EvergreenAction was founded on the belief that people are at the heart of our clean energy future.
Simply put, staying true to the values we champion as an organization MEANS coming together to organize a union.
We know creating a union will only strengthen our organization's relationships with organized labor, and thus, make @EvergreenActionโs work more effective.
Our clean energy future will be pro-worker, will advance economic justice, and will be unionized. โ๐โ๐
