Shoutout to EVERYONE who tuned in earlier today for my play-by-play of the powerful labor rally with AFL-CIO, AFSCME, and so many others standing strong for our civil servants earlier today in front of the Capitol building in Washington DC! 👷🏽♀️👨🏽⚕️
Okay, confession time—yes, that was me dropping the selfie stick right at the start 🤦♀️😂. But hey, what matters is that we SHOWED UP! Today, I had the honor of meeting the incredible people who keep our skies safe, our food safe, and protect us from diseases and pandemics. They weren’t there as Republicans or Democrats—they were there as Americans who work hard, support their families, and strengthen our communities.
🚨 But let’s be real—convicted felon Donald Trump, Elon Musk (who NO ONE elected), and complicit Republicans in Congress are playing political games with our civil servants’ lives. They want obedient workers, not empowered ones—because a strong labor movement is a threat to their corrupt power grab.
🔥 But here’s the thing: People Power is Working Power! That’s exactly why Trump—the leader of a criminal enterprise—is attacking labor. He wants to dismantle democracy and build an oligarchy. We’re saying OH HELL NO.
💪 So what can YOU do?
👉 SHOW UP when labor calls!
👉 SPEAK OUT when workers and vulnerable communities need support!
👉 SHARE the story—just like my (imperfect but passionate!) video—because your voice builds momentum!
⚡️ Be part of the movement! Be the power! ⚡️ Join us at the next People Power United event and keep building the resistance! We need YOU! 💙💪
Let’s rise together. Let’s fight together. Let’s WIN together. See you there! 🚀✨ #PeoplePower #LaborStrong #WeShowUp
✅ Power to the People - Today’s calls-to-action
Power is building relationships and the ability to move people to action or inaction. In civic engagement, true power comes from organized communities capable of influencing decisions, policies, and societal norms.
Our mission in fighting for progress and people power is to inspire and unite everyone who calls America home. We’re working to create an America where everyone has the chance to thrive, and our leaders should reflect that vision. If they don’t, we’ll organize, mobilize, and do the work to replace them.
Call your Senator (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote no on the following cabinet nominees: RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.
