Dear progressive nonprofits, When booking events at hotels & venues, include terms that allow you to break the contract in the case of labor unrest (strikes/pickets/boycotts). This kind of #solidarity with workers will not be forgotten. Thank you! Sincerely, The Labor Movement – at San Diego, CA

2022 election results & future opportunities @ #PLASummit2023 Dems often too cautious about seeming “progressive” while Republicans pretend they have Dem values in branding. “If they’re pretending to be us, maybe we shouldn’t be so afraid to be ourselves.” @SeanEloRiveraD9 – at San Diego, CA

Today, because of #PLASummit2023, I saw that San Diego has an increasing number of leaders who are willing to be publicly uncomfortable and talk about hard things. That makes me optimistic.
