Professional employees at Providence Portland Medical Center have voted to join @oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social & the AFT.

The Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act could put an extra $6,000 in the pockets of families, helping them achieve the American Dream. Let's make sure our members can afford to live with dignity.
Watch Carl's powerful message and tell your legislator to support this vital act!
"Working people are suffering under this current economy." From cafeteria workers facing food insecurity to staff juggling multiple jobs just to get by, our public service professionals deserve better.

Here are 3 #PublicSchoolProud stories that inspired us this week.
🥳🎉👏
Fascinating, especially hard on the heels of saying that we can't afford daycare, Medicare, or - you know, any of the support that defines a functional, industrialized nation. Just big sticks to hit everyone who doesn't think Trump is the greatest with, that's what we can afford.
We wish a meaningful Good Friday to all who observe.
May this day bring reflection, renewal and hope for what’s ahead.

“No Kings today, then we vote in November.” 🗳️🇺🇸
AFT members helped make this #NoKings a historic moment and demonstrate that power belongs to the people.
Now, we carry that energy forward to the ballot box.
The rising cost of essentials such as rent, groceries, and more is putting increasing pressure on Americans. Many of us are finding it harder to make ends meet and economic concerns have been growing. Since January, economic ratings for Trump have declined.

We’re not just naming what’s broken. We’re organizing to change it. youtube.com/shorts/qDUmV...
