Facts. Most working people want the same thing! That includes jobs that pay a living wage, access to affordable housing, and a brighter future for our children. That’s why we’re using this moment to unite in our union for better!
Bill Burr: “How big does your yacht have to be? I have no problem with people having zillions of dollars, but pay the workers, give them benefits. Most people don’t have ridiculous demands. It’s like I would like to have a family, be able to clothe, shelter, and feed them and not have to worry every month that I’m gonna be homeless. The more of a reptile you are, the more ruthless you are, it’s respected in business. They hide behind well that’s how business is done. No, it isn’t. That’s how you’re doing business”

One year ago, President Trump called the National Guard to Portland. When he did, I told him directly: Portland is not a war zone. I love this city, and I see how many people are showing up for it. We have more work ahead, and I’ll keep working to build on that progress.

ICYMI, this past weekend marked National Security Officer Appreciation Week. Taking a #StandForSecurity isn’t about free pizza or cheap giveaways. Security officers need more than gestures—they need a fair union contract, living wages, and tools and training to keep our communities safe. Real appreciation starts with real action.

65% → 53%.
That’s how much working people's share of the economic pie has shrunk since 1947.
Workers didn’t stop producing. But less and less of those profits are making their way back to working people.
This is why we organize. ✊🏿
Our union contracts are how we uphold our rights and respect on the job—no boss can take that away from us.

#TFW bosses get a lot nicer now that they know they can't bully ALL of us.

We keep asking and we keep hearing crickets.... 🙃 It's time to take the power back from the free-loading rich.

This #4thofJuly, we celebrate the shared belief that hard work should lead to a better future. No matter our background, we all want strong communities, opportunity, and a brighter tomorrow for our families. That common hope is what brings us together.
It's time to reassess how you treat others when the families who work for you have to make a choice between rent and food. You're not a hero when you use your wealth to harm others.

It's like they forget we talk to each other about these things... 💀

This #PrideMonth, we honor the LGBTQIA+ trailblazers who paved the way and the workers carrying that fight forward today.
“Standing up for my community means refusing to stay silent in the face of fear, discrimination, and attacks on our rights and dignity.”
As attacks continue, Pride reminds us that our power comes from showing up, speaking out, and protecting one another.
VICTORY! We have a new union contract at PeaceHealth Peace Harbor! When we fight, we WIN!

They want us divided. We’re building solidarity instead. This #PrideMonth, we celebrate LGBTQIA+ workers and organizers who continue to fight back against attacks on our rights, our freedoms, and our futures. Worker power is people power.
Pride is a protest. It always has been. This year, it's also a reminder that our collective power is the most effective tool we have against attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights. Show up. Speak out. #PrideMonth
Pride is more than a celebration, it’s a movement. LGBTQIA+ workers have always helped lead the fight for justice on the job and in our communities. This #PrideMonth, we honor the trailblazers and organize for a future where everyone is protected, respected, and paid.

Our thoughts are with the Longview community, including the working people, families, and first responders following the tragic explosion at the local paper mill. Solidarity to our union family at @SEIU49 at PeaceHealth St. John, who are caring for those affected in their community as well 💜 seiu.co/4ff10Ob
🙌🏽 This #AAPIMonth, we recognize the AAPI community not just for contributions, but for leadership in this moment. When freedoms are on the line, AAPI workers are helping to lead the fight for justice, protection, and opportunity for all.
This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we’re not just celebrating, we’re naming what’s happening. Rights are being rolled back. Immigrant communities are being targeted. And AAPI workers are organizing, pushing back, and holding the line. ✊🏽
