#WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWAStrong #UnionStrong #MissouriStateWorkersUnion #CWANextGen #CBTUUnder40Leaders #CBTU #APRI Movement rant…. Today i realized how much we need more spiritual and holistic practices in movement work, such as healing circles. We grind hard and focus on day to day life that this concrete jungle devours us mentally, spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically. Not everyone has mastered the art of decluttering their minds. This takes consistent mental exercise. Whether you do movement work or not, please take time to care for your mental health and check on your loved one’s mental health. not everyone wears their struggles on their sleeves. we have to keep this in mind as we fight for a sustainable future for ourselves and our youth. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom…” https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0-qDGLfX0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Many young workers, both union and non union are waking up and smelling the good ole’ aroma of ORGANIZED LABOR! Power belongs to the workers who make all things in this country possible. From Amazon workers making sure you get your packages on time, postal workers, UPS workers, flight attendants, the many teachers and educators risking their health for poverty wages, the many nurses working around the clock to ensure the country stays healthy, the construction workers working in the worst climate conditions, the many janitors who are sanitizing your offices, the fast food and child care workers who make sure your workday and lunch is possible, electricians, carpenters, painters, longshoremen, federal and state government workers, farmers, technicians, machinists, and starbucks workers who all ensure products and services for your daily convenience. yet we’re still fighting for safety protections in the workplace, quality healthcare, a livable wage, the right to organize a union, fair contract negotiations, funding & resources for public education, to close the gender pay gap, sexual harassment in the workplace, women’s right to choose, discriminatory policies, the right to vote, TOTAL STUDENT LOAN DEBT FORGIVENESS, inclusive organization leadership and the list goes on. #KeepFighting #GiveEmHell #AllPowerToThePeople #BowingDownIsNotAnOption https://www.instagram.com/p/Chs13l-rqay/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWALocal6355 #MissouriStateWorkersUnion #CWAStrong #UnionStrong #CWANextGen #CBTUUnder40Leaders #CBTU #APRI random labor thoughts: i don’t know how to stress how important these MIDTERM ELECTIONS are‼️I listened to some young people my age or younger debating about withholding your vote vs voting for Democrats. Let’s be crystal clear! If you think life for working families is a fight now, continue to entertain the thought of not voting and we will literally be in chains again. Voting is only a tool, OF MANY, to create the change we want to see for our children’s future. As with the other tools needed to push change, voting takes strategy. It takes a UNIFIED agenda around the issues we all face daily! Our future literally depends on our votes over the next few years. No candidate can succeed without the black and minority vote! Remember Millennials and Generation Z’s have the most voting power! Do some research. Connect with someone who you trust to have your best interests at heart and knows the political landscape of your community. but just not using your vote. we must have a better plan than that. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfum-BarbcB5pzi5G8ATip4v3E9g0sXLRlwrss0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWAStrong #CWA #CWANextGen #UnionStrong #CBTU #CBTUUnder40Leaders #MissouriStateWorkersUnion #LaborForBlackLives #WorkingWhileBlack #BlackWorkersRising The Labor Movement, the right to negotiate for better working conditions, and organizing a union in your work place has always went hand and hand with the movement for black lives. History has proven this again and again, most recently with the formation of the Amazon Labor Union and Starbucks Workers United. We all know, or should know the story about the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters Union, from back in the day. Black workers still make up a low percentage of union membership, nationwide. Yet, Black and minority workers are the people on the frontlines and suffering the most. These corporations, conservative union busting organizations, and corrupt politicians continue to play cat and mouse with our survival! It’s not only well-being any longer, but our families survival. We must continue to show up in the streets, at politicians houses and workplaces, at the bargaining table, these shareholders meetings, these union meetings and most of all to the polls for the mid-term and general elections! We have to get our people educated, registered and to the polls by any means necessary! Keep organizing, keep fighting, join a union and bring someone with you, stand up for a decent paying, safe and fair workplace! in Solidarity! 💪🏾✊🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cde36WEM2SGDTblobNNEI5ywUtc4if_6ZQzmBc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#WeWearRedOnThursdays #MissouriStateWorkersUnion #CWAStrong #CWALocal6355 #CWANextGen #CBTU #APRI #CBTUUnder40Leaders #WorkingWhileBlack #BlackWorkersRising #BlackLivesMatterToLabor After talking with legislators and state leadership i’m reminded why i’m in this fight. Very few are truly connected to the plight of working families and people living in poverty. then we question why people don’t vote. People are starting to see through the lies because they live the struggle every day! These laws and policies being used to control us become detrimental when you make decisions without input from the people doing the work or who are struggling to survive. Whether it’s women’s right to choose, the right to have a union and bargain for better working conditions to voting rights and the right to change the laws by initiative petitions, there are under constant attacks that go against the interests of working families by people in power. with that mouthful said, we have to use our vote for these midterms elections to show the people we pay with our hard earned tax dollars, that they will not continue to pull the wool over our eyes. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMuyqJM4iKGIHwnDIOFF-V-bcrIlrXslckkDs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#ProtectMOStateWorkers #WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWAStrong #UnionStrong #MissouriStateWorkersUnion #CWAAgainstRacism #CWANextGen #UnitedWeBargainDividedWeBeg #HazardPayForEssentialWorkers #FightFor15AndAUnion #FrontlineWorkersMatter What’s on my mind today as it relates to being in a union and the working class? Seeing these vicious attacks on human rights locally, nationally and abroad does not sit well with my spirit. Our local state government refuse to provide adequate healthcare for 275,000 people who need it the most. They are forcing us to work in hazardous conditions with no HAZARD PAY and continue to limit how we organize and reach out to our members. All of this and refuse to acknowledge our Labor Agreement after their practices were ruled unconstitutional. Local and federal politicians continue to play cat and mouse while working people suffer. They quickly pass frivolous legislations while refusing to address the urgent needs of the people. Isn’t the primary function of government is to serve and protect the general welfare? Why must we be ok with our human rights to simply live are under attack? As they pass laws under our noses that will harm more than help those already living in poverty, the fight continues.... https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1HWw4LuZfddiOOAcvT4h9d95V7wlVOImX3K80/?igshid=r7gnpp7q6405

#CWARedThursdays #WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWAStrong #CWANextGen #CBTU #CBTUUnder40Leaders #MOStateWorkersUnion This is the first week of legislative sessions. I’m curious as to what these so called servants of the people have up their sleeves to harm the people they serve. First thing’s first, Missouri State Workers who are “frontline” “essential” workers deserve a pay raise and safety protections in the workplace! Call and/or email your Missouri state legislators and demand that they approve pay raises for all State and Public Workers! #UnitedWeBargainDividedWeBeg https://www.instagram.com/p/CYaDt6KLqulJyZA3UHWVYkPbv1fhV50T767bAs0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWARedThursdays #CWANextGen #StoryOfSelf #ThrowbakkThursdayz this the moment that started it all. i was speaking at the National AFL-CIO commission of diversity and inclusion on how labor lacked the empathy and slow to act when it come to fighting for issues that affected black communities. at this time it was the murder of Michael Brown, police brutality and the Ferguson Uprisings. since i’ve still been on the frontlines, speaking for my people, holding those elected to represent our best interests accountable, represented union members treated unfair by management, participated in numerous labor and community campaigns, had conversations with some of the poorest and wealthiest people, made some of the dopest friends and family, researching what black liberation and black power look like in these current times, researching my roots, incorporating my ancestors in the work i do, and the list goes on… with that said it’s more work to do and more minds to liberate. #CBTUUnder40Leaders #CBTU #JWJ #CWA #CWANextGen #WorkingWhileBlack #BlackWorkersRising https://www.instagram.com/p/CVl1eMnPwGaLgaCLvpcBzAlZlDBUvmxNxcGgsM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

#WeWearRedOnThursdays #CWARedThursdays #MOStateWorkersUnion This week was our local’s first week of bargaining after 3 years of the state intentionally ignoring our contract! We had to fight tooth and nail, shed blood, sweat and tears just to protect our 12,000+ state workers. These are workers who ensure Missouri citizens get the care they need! Children’s Division, Dept. of Health & Senior Services, Dept. of Social Services, Dept. of Youth Services, Child Support, Foster Parents & Parkway School District employees! The Supreme court had to intervene and literally MAKE the state come back to the bargaining table! But we never backed down, we continue to educate our members and communities we serve, we continue to build relationships with ally organizations and legislators and more! So if you see a state worker, essential frontline heroes and sheroes, give them a simple “Thank you”. it goes a long way after all we have to fight against and deal with on a daily basis! We deserve equitable pay and benefits, and we will continue to fight! #BowingDownIsNotAnOption #CWAStrong #UnionStrong #CWANextGen #CWA #MSWU #CBTU #PublicWorkersMatter #BlackWorkersRising #WorkingWhileBlack https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvmvw3L5qgEhgpSlRH01pmEaijnvfq8cl4jMg0/?utm_medium=tumblr
