April 24 - Solidarity Sunday with Sen. Sanders - Staten Island, NY/Richmond,VA



From Amazon warehouses to Starbucks locations across the country, there is a common thread: a working class sick of being exploited while corporations rake in record profits.

I look forward to joining Amazon workers in New York and Starbucks workers in Virginia this Sunday.

Joe Biden’s Firewall Was Union Made
Richard Trumka November 5, 2020

"The middle class built America — and unions built the middle class. Everything that supports a middle-class life was made possible by Unions.
~joe biden Sept 2021, America's most pro-Union advocate & President in history.
"From Amazon to Autos, President Biden's lifetime support of Unions is written in the history books & his Presidential Policies."

Biden isn't simply talking this talk, he's walked it side by side with workers since he was able to, & reflects in the power of his Presidential policy platform.

Now they show up to reap the accolaides.

I just wish he'd join our Party. But he's going where the fight is, and that deserves a lot of credit.

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will attend a rally on Staten Island this Sunday with workers from the JFK8 Amazon fulfillment center who recently formed the first Amazon union in the United States.

The rally will take place at 11 a.m. at the fulfillment center.

“They took on one of the most powerful corporations in America and showed that workers are sick and tired of being exploited while corporate profits soar,” said Sanders in a press release.
