Hey teachers, nurses, and workers everywhere—imagine getting a 61.5% raise. Strikes work. Get organized and build strong relationships with your coworkers.

“Native people of the 1600s all the way through the American Revolution had a profound influence on the development of ideas about freedom, democracy, equality, liberty,” Arnold said. This 4th of July and beyond, let’s recognize and appreciate that. syracuse.com/news/2026/07/ha…
Haudenosaunee influenced America’s democracy. How should we celebrate that?

The founding fathers knew about the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, as evidence by treaties and quotes.

Thank you so much to @ProgressiveVic for the endorsement! 🌹I pledge to fight for a Green New Deal that protects our drinking water from toxic algal blooms, establishes a moratorium on resource-heavy A.I. data centers, and ensures that local growth is truly sustainable.

Onondaga County must do more to provide safe and affordable housing, to provide childcare for everyone, and to provide accessible transportation. That’s why we’re running on the affordability slate. #syracuse #AffordabilitySlate

I would not be who I am today without DSA. It’s such an honor to be endorsed by them. I’ve learned a lot of what I know about organizing, leadership, and fighting for an economic system that benefits all working people. Join DSA if you want to learn how to make real change.

In the last 15 months, we have recruited over 8,500 Americans to run for office at every level of government. Today, I am proud to endorse 61 progressives running for state and local office across America. They will fight for the kind of changes our country desperately needs.
