We deserve representatives who come from the working class & will stand up for the working class.

That’s what Bob has done for his entire life.

In Congress, he’ll raise the minimum wage, tax billionaires to fund programs that benefit workers, and get big money out of politics.

We're proud to endorse Bob Brooks for Congress in PA-07.

Bob spent 20 years as a firefighter & now serves as president of his union.

Bob is the perfect example of a person we should be sending to D.C. because it’s time to elect real working-class leadership to Congress.

John Fetterman admits that he will approve more ICE funding.

This is a disgrace.

Text β€œICE OUT” to 25463 to call Fetterman’s office and tell him to VOTE NO!

500,000 Pennsylvanians are about to see their healthcare premiums rise because of the Republican budget bill he supported.

People across Pennsylvania did not put time, money, and energy into his campaign just to elect someone who votes against our interests.

Let's defeat Fetterman together.

Primary John Fetterman We supported John Fetterman in 2022. Since then, he's sold us out. It's time to replace him and elect real leadership.

Has John Fetterman disappointed you?

Us too.

We've launched PrimaryFetterman.com to be the hub of our campaign to defeat him.

John Fetterman wants to spend your tax dollars purchasing Greenland instead of providing healthcare.

Graphic that says: SBWU ULP Strike day 12, and we're just getting started

It's DAY 12 of our national, open-ended ULP strike.

Thousands of baristas in over 65 cities are on strike demanding higher wages, better hours, and an end to union-busting. And we're just getting started πŸ”₯

We asked 2,500 Americans how they really feel about billionaires Campaign donations from the country’s richest are soaring. But only 12 percent of respondents say billionaires have a positive impact on society.

58% of Americans think billionaires spending more money on elections is bad, while only 12% think it's a good thing.

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike.

Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike.

Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

Here’s how you can stand with Starbucks workers today -

πŸ”₯ Shop local for your coffee β€” support small businesses (and tag @PAWorkingFamilies!)

πŸ”₯ Talk with your friends and neighbors about why workers are striking.

πŸ”₯ Share messages of encouragement using #NoContractNoCoffee to boost worker voices.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks.

This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Nearly 1,000 UPMC Magee-Womens Hospitals nurses vote to unionize Those in favor of a union at the hospital say the push came so that they can have more time with their patients along with having a seat at the decision-making table.

Congratulations to the 1,000 nurses at Magee who voted to unionize in a historic election.

Pennsylvania’s budget crisis is political, not fiscal | Opinion The budget fight isn’t over; there are solutions on the table. But we’re done accepting a system where the richest man in the state gets a free ride while the rest of us are told to tighten our belts.

The same legislators who claim that the state government doesn't have enough money to fund essential services refuse to consider a solution staring them in the face.

We need to tax the rich & make PA's billionaires pay their fair share.

Eagles Home Opener Looks Like It'll Be One Giant Traffic Shit Show Because of SEPTA Situation The home opener between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys looks like it'll be a traffic nightmare if SEPTA doesn't get funding.

Republicans in Harrisburg are holding SEPTA hostage to make traffic & transit worse for the Eagles’ home opener the season after winning the Super Bowl.

We strongly support the nurses at UPMC Magee standing up & fighting for the working conditions they deserve.

UPMC needs to stop the union-busting and put its workers and patients first.

Our members head back to work on Monday & welcome students back to school on 8/25. A strike is always a last resort; after all, we're parents of Philly school students, too.

The 1-year extension of our last CBA gave the School District ample notice of members' needs. Where's the urgency, SDP?

PA Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman is out raising money today at a high dollar fundraiser instead of working to pass a state budget.

We suggest giving him a call at (724) 357-0151 to let him know you feel about that. ⛳️
