For those of you who were constantly asking for more details about who we were, we updated our website passthetorchbiden.com with details (hint--we were pretty much all progressive Democrats excited about Kamala Harris). Thank you so much to our first funder @popularcomms!

Jane McAlevey, one of the nation’s preëminent labor organizers and strategists, feels that we have no time to waste when it comes to fighting for a more equitable future—a sentiment she has felt more acutely since her terminal cancer diagnosis. nyer.cm/4dIF7UI

The WH just announced a program to employ tens of thousands of youth with a pathway to lifelong careers doing the critical work of stopping climate change. We fought for these demands for years. Now the priorities of young people are beginning to become reality. Exciting day!
Today, we are mobilizing the next generation of clean energy, conservation, and climate resilience workers. Join us at whitehouse.gov/ClimateCorps

NEW: This @UAW strike is historic. Workers are tired of generating massive profits, and getting so little. One union member stuck it to the CEOs: "Is your time really worth 300-400x more? Do you really work 300-400x times harder than we do? No, you don't."

Surprise, surprise: the guy who wrote an op-ed siding with billionaires against striking workers happens to make his money through managing billionaires' assets.

THREAD: While the forces attacking our public schools and banning books claim to be fighting for "parents rights", the reality is that the vast majority of book challenges are not brought forward by parents. washingtonpost.com/education…

Our movement just won the American Climate Corps. Thank you to every young person who fought for and believed in a vision of government that could work for our generation and the planet. This is just the beginning.

The UAW strike is a stark reminder that CEO pay is out of whack & fueling anger. 300:1 instead of 15:1 in the 1960s. A cause of this is the massive Reagan tax cuts for the top 1% incentivizing more CEO pay. Raising taxes on ultra wealthy also will lower CEO/worker pay disparity.
