Happy May Day! Otherwise known as International Workers’ Day, we’re celebrating this holiday meant to recognize workers’ labor victories and contributions through our own efforts to make ActBlue a better workplace for all.
We weathered layoffs, fought for stronger severance for those impacted, and worked with management to ensure that remaining workers could feel secure in their jobs. We continue to hold management accountable and make sure our contract is followed.
One year ago today, @actblue laid off 54 employees, 32 of which were ActBlue Union members. The loss of valuable institutional knowledge and these workers’ contributions during a major election cycle is still being felt today.
While we still haven’t heard from leadership if these layoffs actually course corrected @actblue financially, we have spent the last year fighting to make ActBlue a better, more equitable place to work.
This week we filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against @actblue after they unilaterally moved work out of our union. This will move to an official proceeding governed by the National Labor Relations Board & we will post updates as they come. Thank you for your solidarity!
One month ago today, @actblue laid off a quarter of our union. Since then, our leaders have deflected workers’ questions and refused to take accountability.
We’re calling for a layoff freeze so we can continue to serve our campaigns, orgs, & donors. Sign our letter below ⬇️
Today is International Workers’ Day, aka May Day. What better day than today for @actblue leadership to agree to a layoff freeze? We’re calling on leadership to commit to workers & our org’s mission. Sign our letter today to show your support! forms.gle/8DeoeXPysttErDfB8

Hello @actblue
Once again, DSA is asking you to listen to your workers:
We call on @actblue leadership to work with us as partners, and commit to freezing further layoffs for the 2024 election cycle before our next Union Town Hall on April 26.
Our focus must be on supporting our users, not worrying about our job security.

@ActBlue your leadership team needs to commit to a layoff freeze for the rest of the 2023-2024 election cycle. It’s the absolute least you can do for your workers after everything you’ve put them through.

ActBlue has been a vital part of our digital fundraising program. We are disappointed in their current anti-union behavior.
We stand in solidarity with @ActBlueUnion and urge @actblue leadership to commit to freezing further layoffs for the 2024 election cycle before 4/26.

Leadership has shown a blatant disregard for the contract that we negotiated together and ratified just two months ago. We have had to push management to work with us at every turn, while navigating ongoing ramifications and solidarity efforts to support our members.
We are dedicated to the work of building small-dollar fundraising programs and we need management to show that same dedication to us. Tag @actblue and let them know they need to commit to a layoff freeze for the rest of the 2023-2024 election cycle by April 26.
