Randy Villegas is running to represent CA-22 to be a voice for working people in the halls of Congress. His experience as a rank-and-file UAW member makes him uniquely qualified to do just that — and UAW members are out in force to send him to Washington. "What excites me most about @Villegas_CA22 running for Congress is the fact that we're seeing what the union difference makes," said one @uawregion6 member. "He started in the UC institution. He was a member of our union. And now he's making sure to continue that legacy of uniting our communities."

Only 2% of Congress comes from the working class. UAW members across the country are coming together and winning elections to change that. It's time to send working people like Randy Villegas to Congress to deliver for our communities.

Union members recognize the bosses’ divide & conquer strategy” on our ballots, write Mara Rafferty & Jarel Sanders, calling out millionaire-fueled fearmongering about trans youth used to divide & distract working families from the ultimate goal: cutting taxes on the rich.

UAW members have hit a Midterm Milestone: 125,000 doors across the country! With 2 weeks until Election Day, UAW members will continue knocking doors in states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, Iowa, California, and more. By reaching out to union voters and their families in places where elections are decided by thin margins, UAW members can cut through the noise to talk to voters about the issues that matter most this midterm.

Shawn Fain is right. It is an outrage that GM is spending $20 billion on stock buybacks to enrich its wealthy shareholders, while 80% of its autoworkers no longer have a pension or retiree health benefits. That $20 billion should be going to workers, not Wall Street executives.

Last year, a majority of tutors at the University of California signed up as dues-paying members of UAW 4811. Last semester, thousands of us picketed across the state for a strong contract. Yesterday, I got an $8/hour raise. That's the power of a union. #uaw #1u

Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally

Trump made the remarks during a rambling speech in which he said gas prices would be lower soon, touted his ouster of Venezuela’s dictator, and made attacks on news outlets.

Every packed hearing, every crowded rally, every legislative visit, and every union meeting built the power to get the California Science Bond on the ballot. It’s going to take the same dedication from now until March 2028. We did it once, let’s do it again.

A bond measure doesn't pass itself. The Trump administration is trying to gut American science, and California is going to fund it. To turn this lifeline into law, we need an unstoppable coalition to vote YES. Talk to your lab, and let’s protect lifesaving research.

They told us this bill was dead. They were wrong. Governor Newsom just signed SB 895. The $7.5 BILLION California Science and Health Research Bond is officially heading to the ballot. This is a massive win, but it’s not the end of the fight.

If you’re an international Academic Student Employee at UC, you now have access to FREE legal consultations. We organized, marched, and forced them to sign a union contract that guarantees a $400,000 legal support program. Here is what you get & how to use it 🧵👇
