This text image features a congratulatory message for Scott Colom winning a US Senate seat in Mississippi. "The South has something to say! And today, Mississippi said it loud and clear. Congratulations to Senator-Elect Scott Colom on his election to the U.S. Senate. This is the power of working people when they organize and vote, even with obstacles and suppression in their way. Make no mistake: the South is our path to liberation and the future of the labor movement runs through the South. This victory belongs to the people of Mississippi. Now let’s turn this victory into action, as we demand Money, Power and Respect for working people."

The South has never been short on courage, leadership, or people willing to fight for freedom. What's been missing is sustained investment. Our ancestors organized to change the world they inherited. Now it's our turn to build the power that future generations deserve.

Honoring our veterans means more than thanking them for their service. It means fighting for their dignity, their healthcare, their livelihoods, and the futures they deserve. They showed up for this country. This country better show up for them. Happy #VeteransDay. 🇺🇲

Billionaires don't run this country. They just profit off the people who do.

SEIU members showed the power of working people during the midterm election cycle by reaching voters by knocking on doors, making calls, and showing up to vote in force. @SEIUPres is speaking facts that although the midterm elections have concluded, our fight for #MoneyPowerRespect doesn’t end here!

Turns out the people who keep this country running are pretty damn good at running for office, too.

Today in Southern labor history, Nov 12, 1892, we remember the New Orleans General Strike that shook the foundations of racial capitalism, uniting Black & white workers for a 10-hr work day & better conditions in a militant show of solidarity against exploitation. #LaborHistory

Imagine working 80 hours a week, getting a $2 raise, and losing your health insurance subsidies because you now make TOO MUCH. It's a financial trap. usatoday.com/story/money/per…
Even insurance can't stop medical debt. Why health costs keep rising

Even insurance can't stop medical debt. Why health costs keep rising

Millions of Americans struggle to cover the cost of health insurance, medical care and living expenses. Fewer than half can afford health care.

You know I LOVE me a pro-worker wave!

Working people are tired of the status quo, where billionaires and CEOs make record profits while we struggle to make ends meet. This is a pro-worker wave. That’s why union members are sending people to Congress who will stand up for workers - because they ARE working people.

Indigenous communities have long stood at the forefront of efforts to advance dignity, sovereignty, and the rights owed to working people. We honor that legacy by standing together to protect our rights and fight for a more just future for all. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
