We have lost 68,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump took office.

We have lost 161,000 blue collar jobs.

We need new economic leadership that doesn't concentrate wealth & power in the hands of the few.

An economy that works for all Americans.

We need a new economic patriotism.

Thousands of Minnesotans gathered last night to honor Renee Nicole Good. We will never accept that a single federal agent can be judge, jury, and executioner in our streets. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis.

We congratulate SMC member Tascha Van Auken on her appointment!

Democracy does not end at the ballot box. With Tascha at the helm, we know that Zohran's administration will work tirelessly to give working people the voice they have been denied.

Pay attention

It has been an amazing leg session with SB 787! UAW members from the entire clean energy supply chain- from researchers to auto manufacturing workers- showed up to lay groundwork for a CA Just Transition. Now our diverse coalition asks @governor.ca.gov to sign SB 787! @uawregion6.bsky.social

🚨 California Labor showed its power 💪 tonight with the passage of #AB288! This bipartisan bill to make sure CA can step in and enforce the right to organize has now passed both houses with a supermajority and will soon be on @governor.ca.gov desk! California workers deserve a REAL RIGHT TO A UNION!

Badass UAW organizer Clayton? Lead organizer for uncommitted Seth? Small chapter builder aficionado Katie? Just transition leader and ICE defense queen Leslie? Truly this slate has it all, and the experience to grow socialism for the masses. Can’t wait to rank these folks at the top of my ballot!

That's a wrap on Summer School 2025! In a moment where working people are facing escalating attacks from the billionaires and far right, UAW members are showing that a better world is possible – and building the solidarity, skills, and strategies to make it happen.

Such an honor to speak at @uawregion6.bsky.social’s summer school conference last week! They are an amazing group of passionate unionists. One of the most memorable moments in my time as UAW Archivist. Thank you Director Miller and the conference planners.

Today is the last day to help defeat an immoral bill that will provide tax breaks to billionaires, explode the deficit, and strip 17 million of healthcare. I explain how organizing today can make the difference.

Come work on my Nevada team! 💕

SMC congratulates @socialists.nyc and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on their amazing victory in the Democratic primary. This win shows the value of a clear, popular, socialist platform that speaks to working people, and that organizing and mass movements are the keys to victory.

@shawnfainuaw.bsky.social: "The working class is done with business as usual. We were proud to be the first union to endorse Zohran because it’s time for a political movement that puts the working class first.

I think Zohran may win by double digits after RCV
