Watching Donald Trump take notes from Viktor Orbán feels like seeing someone copy homework—but from the one kid who keeps getting called into the principal’s office.
Copy-pasting the playbook on media control and power consolidation? That’s not “Strong leadership.” ->
join us for a talk on how unions have a role in the push back to save the USA!

Deb is a true champion for working people, and @willigwilliamsdavidson has every reason to celebrate their powerhouse. ->
We couldn’t be prouder of our incredible partner in labor, Deb Willig! 💪
For decades, Deb has been a fierce advocate for the working men and women of Philadelphia. NEVER backing down, always delivering. And now, making history with the WNBA ->

#philly #union @afscme @phillyaflcio #MayDay #Hardymerriman #Authoritarian
Merriman "focuses on the use of civil resistance- including tactics such as strikes, boycotts, protests, acts of noncooperation, and many other nonviolent methods- to counter authoritarian rule."
Join us on May Day 5/1 as working Philadelphians rally for better America for working people.
Join us on April 25th for a guest lecture on Authoritarianism & How Unions Fight Back by Hardy Merriman.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, workers are standing up and demanding a city that lives up to the promise made in 1776: that we finally build a society that sees all people as equal, with inherent value and dignity and worth. ->
Our city is poor because of choices that have been made, for hundreds of years, at every level of government, to prioritize profits over people. ->
For far too long, Philadelphia has been known as the country’s poorest big city. Throughout the country, and in Philadelphia, the billionaires have built a system that robs us at every turn. As the workers who make this city run, we know that it doesn’t have to be that way. ->
Monday, April 13th | 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM @ City Hall, Room 400 (4th Floor)

DC47 submitted amendments to the legislation that further protects our employees which were accepted by the council members. We look forward to standing behind this important legislation for our city! ->->
🚫🧊 HEARING: After months of organizing and advocacy, Kendra Brooks and Rue Landau’s ICE Out legislative package is heading to its first City Council hearing and vote. This is a critical step toward making sure Philadelphia stands on the side of safety, dignity, and community, not fear. ->->
This legislation will strengthen Philadelphia’s laws by prohibiting collaboration with ICE by our city government and expand protections for immigrants from ICE’s illegal practices.
ICE Out! Philly Loves Immigrants Rally April 11th - 1 pm @ Love Park ->->
🚫🧊 RALLY: Philly says, ICE OUT! Join organizers, labor, and community members at Love Park on April 11th, as we rally for the ICE Out bill package that’s going in front of city council on Monday.
