“It should not be this hard and together it doesn’t have to be.” I’m @AbdulElSayed and I’m running for senate.

If Democrats want to win, they need to stop kissing up to corporate donors and start actually helping working people. Pass fair wages. Pass universal healthcare. Let voters feel the difference in their wallets. Otherwise, enjoy losing to fascists. 💁‍♀️

The court of public opinion is in: Doxxing is out, fair wages are in! Should be a fun week to watch #mileg

Why deal and not leave the law as the people of Michigan voted for and the MI Supreme Court upheld? This is because greedy corporations and the Restaurant Association have spent millions lobbying in Michigan to get people to think paying fair wages to tipped workers is wrong. If your business plan revolves around others paying your employees maybe you don’t know how to run a business fairly? End the legacy of slavery and end subminimum wages.

🚨 Today, Michigan legislators vote on a bill that would strip thousands of dollars & paid family leave from our lowest-paid workers. Reminder to: @AngelaMIHouse @SkeetownSnyder @PeterHerzbergMI @Rep_Andrews @StateRepTCarter @RepMcFall @KellyBreenMI @NoahArbit Dems don’t cut pay raises—we fight for them. We’re the party of workers, NOT puppets for the restaurant lobby. VOTE NO

Workers in the service industry are now presenting a letter calling on politicians to raise wages, not cut them. “We need to see you fighting for our needs.”

“We need Democrats to deliver for working people.” Down the street from the DNC forum here in Detroit, organizers with @onefairwage are delivering the message candidates for leadership need to hear.

Dear @mihousedems and @misenatedems, Let’s get something straight: Democrats are supposed to raise wages and expand workers’ rights, not undermine them. Gutting the paid sick leave and minimum wage laws isn’t just bad policy—it’s a betrayal of the very values you claim to stand for. Do better.

. @RepNateShannon’s privileged experience in the restaurant industry blinds him to the realities many servers face. We heard from women during the pandemic who were pressured to remove their masks during the so customers could judge their appearance for tips, while POC endured racism just to provide for their families. This isn't just about his success; it's about an industry where the majority of workers are women and POC struggling for respect and fair treatment. Nate Shannon was also privileged enough to not have to work at a restaurant that forced him to tip out BOH or stole his tips or underpaid him on slow days. That's why he's putting restaurant industry lobbyists over workers. The people of Michigan voted on this initiative —let their voices be heard instead of subverting their choices. So Nate, enough already. Let’s not be intellectually dishonest. Full article here: michiganpublic.org/politics-…
