United Electrical Workers (UE)

UE fully supports the UTLA strike.

Teachers are on the front lines of defending public education, and reversing the decades-long attempt to starve the whole public sector.

United Teachers Los Angeles has been in contract negotiations with LAUSD for almost two years. In August, 98 percent of union members voted to authorize a strike. With class sizes that are too high and not enough resources in their classrooms and attacks to their profession, teachers are fighting for a profound reinvestment in Los Angeles schools.

#StopTheShutdown

AFGE

Hosted by Women’s March WI

We are outraged. We are organized. They forgot that millions of women and allies lit the world on fire two years ago and again this past January. This past midterm women won in record numbers.

On January 19, 2019, we will be back on the steps of the Capitol – with a legislative agenda – to remind our legislators we have had ENOUGH of sexist, racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, ableist, homophobic and transphobic policies and actions! We will continue to resist and put an end to oppression and white supremacy in all its forms.
