You are invited to The People's Summit this June 8-10 in Los Angeles!

Over 150 endorsing organizations, countless activists, and leaders from around the world are coming together to uplift the voices of the people and imagine a new world; one that puts people's democracy first.

UC System Administrators demand that UC bargain in good faith! It is tme to stop playing dumb and start paying employees properly!

What kind of message does UC want to send its students and public that it purports to serve? That it is acceptable to disrespect its workers? #Shame

[UPTE-UCLA @upte_ucla]

Reproductive rights are labor rights!

🇨🇺 This summer, our union youth delegates visited Cuba.

What they learned may surprise you. You won't hear about this in the U.S. mainstream corporate media.

Make no mistake: Reproductive health care is a workers’ issue and overturning #RoeVsWade is a racist attack on our sisters.

In our unions and in our communities, now is the time to erupt the streets, coordinate strategy and fight back.

Shame on the rich and the powerful who take away voices after they take what they have not earned from the poor and oppressed.

[People's Summit @PeoplesSummit22]

🌎 Organizers for the People’s Summit for Democracy have raised the alarms in response to the move by the US government to block their permit for mobilization. They vow to demonstrate regardless on June 10.

True democracy is when the poor can participate in a meaningful way to decide on how they want to live. UPTE @ UCLA endorses the People's Summit!

[People's Summit @PeoplesSummit22]

“The People’s Summit for Democracy is going to showcase exactly what Los Angeles and people in Southern California are about which is true democracy - not the corporate democracy that they’re trying to lift up at the Summit of the Americas”

- @SEIU721 Organizer Felipe Caceras

Shameful! #CedarsSinai refuses to bargain with workers in good faith! Healthcare workers have risked their lives in the pandemic! "non-profit" Cedars Sinai made record profits by ripping off workers! Come join the strike on 5-9 @ Cedars-Sinai 5 am! #Solidarity

Our Cuban union sister wanted us to pass on this message to her U.S. siblings. Listen now! ⬇️

"Here your Cuban siblings await for you with open arms. We are one."

Biden's anti-labor sanctions and blockades hit poor and working people the hardest.

[UPTE-UCLA @upte_ucla]

Happy May Day. Without the laboring masses, societies will quickly grind to a halt and cannot survive. We workers must be conscious of this and fight to secure real political and economic rights that we have made possible. Down with empty slogans and promises! Happy labor day!

[U.S. Labor Against Racism and War @LaborFightsBack]

Happy May Day! The world’s labor day!

Our sister Marlen Sanchez, with Nicaragua’s farmworkers union, extends warm greetings to U.S. workers. Listen to her powerful message.

Long live internationalist solidarity. Today and everyday, our struggles are one!

Academic workers need proper support such as roof over our heads and a living wage. Join UAW tommorrow at 1 pm at Bruin Bear to fight back. If we don't fight, academia will only get worse and nothing will change!

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

UC's low wages and bad policies are holding too many people back. Academic workers are taking action to demand fair contracts that resolve our untenable working conditions. Join us April 26th to disrupt UC's anti-worker agenda! #FairUCNow
