Trump’s Project 2025 agenda promises to dismantle labor unions. But the labor movement knows how to fight back when anyone comes after our freedoms. We won’t be divided, and we won’t back down. labortribune.com/opinion-tru…

Tim and I could not be more grateful for the support you all have shown us over the past few months.
Let's take everything we are feeling — our fear, our fatigue, our frustration — and use it as our fuel. Now more than ever, we cannot and will not give up this fight.

"Hope Walz gets it: It’s the small things that sustain the fight, the ways we connect and build power together." 🫶🏽💪🏽

“It was not worth the cost.... The students that were displaced … their performance declined. The students who were in schools where those displaced students were reassigned, their performance declined. Absences increased.” chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…
A meaningful admission by @PHLschools that we hope informs the current Facilities Planning Process. Students and communities need to come out better on the other side this time - period. chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2… #PHLed
SW Philly represent!! @PHLschools like Catharine offer stability & safety all young people deserve. Now that our most vulnerable children are facing new threats, we know educators are prepared to stand up to protect them - because they've got the power of a union 💪#PHLed

We're going to defend the @NLRB's decision to end captive audience meetings with everything we've got.
Workers deserve the freedom to choose union representation without fear or intimidation. This ruling is a game-changer for workplace justice.

Post-Gazette management came to the table with a proposal unchanged since 2022. That’s NOT bargaining in good faith. The @PGHGuild is standing strong, fighting for what’s fair.
It’s time for the company to respect workers and follow the NLRB’s ruling.

We 💚 @JalenHurts but his generosity doesn't mean the PA legislature's off the hook for decades of underfunding our schools! #PHLed #FundOurFacilities

.@SenatorHughes was out in West Philly this week helping students learn about their college options. We talked admissions, financial aid, and scholarships. There are so many ways to make college a reality! #TheMoreYouKnow

Reminder: 57% of Nebraska voters repealed a DeVos voucher law last week.
65% of Kentucky voters stopped a voucher push cold.
Both states when hard for Donald Trump at the same time.
This isn’t left-right. It’s real parents knowing vouchers really won’t help them.

The argument against transparency from for-profit charter schools—like those in MI—is “schools will close!”
There’s no evidence that happens.
But what does happen is when the numbers don’t work for the business they close anyway—leaving kids to scramble.

🚨 PSA for PA SNAP recipients:

Stay alert, y’all ✊🏾
