Marching with hundreds of our @IAM_Union siblings in the fight against billionaires! Working people keep our economy and communities running, yet are underpaid and undervalued. Workers are ready for their fair share!

Standing with working families means recognizing the power of people coming together. I’m proud to stand with those who never stopped fighting for a voice, and I’ll always be in their corner.

Kinda chic to win a union!
Congrats to @GigUnionSoCal & @GigUnionNorCal on winning their union! After years of organizing against gig companies that spent millions, geographically dispersed drivers with no common workplace, built power to win a voice on the job & collective bargaining. This is worker power!

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed legislation allowing rideshare drivers to bargain collectively.
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft will be charged 4-cents-per-ride to cover the implementation of the union.
The law impacts more than 100,000 rideshare drivers across the state.

Rideshare drivers deserve a voice—and the right to organize for fair wages, safer working conditions and accountability.
This law is a major victory for working people across Illinois. Innovation should never come at the expense of workers’ rights.
When we organize, we win
HISTORY MADE! Rideshare drivers in Illinois can officially join the @AppDriversUnion! Drivers sent a clear message that no corporation is too big, no business model is beyond accountability, and no industry is beyond the reach of a union when working people stand together.

At 2:30 a.m., the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill passed the IL General Assembly giving 100,000+ rideshare drivers the right to form a union. I’m so proud of these drivers for refusing to give up and who kept on pushing forward for a better future. This is worker power! – at Springfield, IL

When drivers get wrongfully deactivated from Uber and Lyft, it's extremely destabilizing. Chicago Gig Alliance talks about how wrongful deactivations impact Illinois drivers with @abc7chicago.

Yesterday, SB 2906 — critical legislation that gives 100,000 Rideshare drivers the right to form a union — was heard in the Senator Labor Committee. Drivers shared their powerful stories and made it clear that the status quo isn’t working — drivers need real protections.

I am inspired by the courage and determination of the 400+ Rideshare drivers who packed the IL State Capitol today! It is time to pass the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill because EVERY worker deserves the right to form a union.
WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

I stand with @AldRodriguez22 and his team after this morning’s aggressive raids in Little Village. Two city employees - who are U.S. citizens - were detained as federal agents acted with “utter disregard for constitutional rights.”
We demand accountability and justice.
At least seven people were detained by agents during the mid-morning raid, including Jacqueline Lopez and Elianne Bahena, Ald. Rodriguez’s chief of staff, an elected member of the Ogden District Police Council. Both are U.S. citizens, Rodriguez said. to.wttw.com/43rR5hd

As ICE escalates violent operations across Illinois, we’re standing firmly with @icirr in demanding Illinois lawmakers take action to protect all Illinoisans from ongoing federal overreach. Make your voice heard!

The harassment and intimidation of rideshare drivers by federal agents at O’Hare is unacceptable and violates the values of our sanctuary city. Chicago's message is clear: everyone living here deserves safety, dignity, and respect.
