Two Questions: One Answer!
The first question is "What should I do if the Democrats cave in and allow the Republicans to run the nation's finances alone?"
The answer is: "Organize."
The other big question is "What should I do if the Democrats stand up strong and let the government shut down?"
The answer is: "Organize."
None of us have ever seen a government takeover like what Musk/Trump is doing. At the same time, we have never seen so many protests popping up everywhere. If the protests were coordinated, as your labor movement intends, we will avoid the outcome we are all dreading.
We have many opportunities. Veterans protest on Friday. Another group protests Saturday. On March 17, Congress takes its recess and national AFL-CIO has called for a week of actions. See the list below and do what you can.

By next week, voters will be able to see the results of labor's intense candidate screening on our web site. It's a signal that the real work is beginning. Contact Earnest Tilley at etilley2006@yahoo.com and get involved in labor's electoral work.
