Appalling that Temple would retaliate against @TUGSA_6290 workers for pushing for better benefits and working conditions. Donate to the union's strike fund if you can: tugsa.betterworld.org/campai… xitter.cf/mings_ga/status/162332…

On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, we must do more than remember the lives lost to violent bigotry. We must act to enshrine equality into federal law. We must also fight transphobia where we find it. I am proud to support transgender Pennsylvanians & will keep fighting for them.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember the Pennsylvanians lost to anti-transgender violence. As lawmakers across the country push for anti-trans legislation, it's critical now more than ever that we stand with our transgender communities. We must do more to protect trans lives.

Thank you, @SenSchumer, and every Dem & the 12 Rs who voted to respect and defend marriages like mine from extremists who would put hate before love.

@SenSchumer16 Nov 2022
BIG NEWS: The Senate just voted to move forward on the Respect for Marriage Act. No one in a same-sex marriage or an interracial marriage should have to worry if their marriage will be invalidated. No one should be discriminated against because of who they love.

It's up to all of us to stand up to hate. On #InternationalDayofTolerance, I'm calling on all Pennsylvanians to speak up for one another. To call out bigotry when it happens in your community. To be an ally to your neighbors.

Every American should have the freedom to marry the person they love, regardless of who they are or whom they love. We need to pass the Respect for Marriage Act to codify marriage equality nationwide.
The Respect for Marriage Act will protect marriage equality and ensure individuals in same-sex and interracial marriages are guaranteed the same rights & freedoms as every other marriage. We are going to get this done for loving families across America.

It was great to join @JohnFetterman, @TomWolfPA, @AustinDavisPA, @PaAFL_CIO, @UFCWLocal1776, NEA, @AFSCME, PSEA and other union brothers and sisters to rally for workers’ rights. The energy in that room was unmatched — and we’re taking that same energy with us to the ballot box!

If you want someone who'll only look out for the ultra-wealthy, then vote for the Jersey guy who owns 10 houses. If you want someone who'll stand up for working people (such as all of my friends in @UFCWLocal1776 💪), then I'm your candidate. 💯

Doug Mastriano believes LGBTQ+ couples don't deserve the same freedoms as other couples. He wants to strip away their rights to adopt a family and marry who they love. We can't let him become Governor of Pennsylvania. He's too dangerous.
