HUGE NEWS: @VaHouse & @VASenate pass Collective Bargaining and Worker Retention bills to ensure good union jobs, dignity and justice for hard-working Virginians! #UnionsForAll#OrganizeTheSouth
Dismantling the Dept. of Ed is NOT how we put families first. It's an extremist scheme to gut public schools & take away educational opportunities for children, students with disabilities & more. A slap in the face to school workers across the country. https://t.co/phnFIpZ7os
In the next couple of days our legislators will vote on collective bargaining and paid leave for all, and basic transparency needs for stakeholders in higher education! There's still time to tell your legislators to vote YES on all these essential bills.
Today we joined @SEIUVA512 and @VEA4Kids in support of bargaining for all public workers in Va! We are proud to see an omnibus bill pass through Labor and Commerce. Thank you to Senators @JCarrollFoy, @ssurovell, and @SenLouiseLucas for supporting workers with this legislation.
What a beautiful rally! Congratulations to our Lobby Day organizers for a powerful showing of worker and student power at the General Assembly this week. We are fighting every day to restore our rights and take back our universities.

We believe that all our issues are united! That's why we're also fighting for affordable housing for all of us. That means our representatives should vote YES on SB832, sponsored by @SenatorLocke and HB1870, sponsored by @DelegateCallsen.
