Imagine a Texas where we had elected officials that worked for us. It’s time for Greg Abbott’s 16-year reign to end. Our rights, families, and futures depend on it.

Solidarity with our EPA workers!

“They believe in the kind of work that they do,” Chen said. “When they’re gagged and have no rights, they’re unable to serve the American public, they can’t do their jobs and they can’t serve the agency’s mission.”

We’re proud to stand with our brothers and sisters from TSEU Local 6186!

Together, we’ll take back our power from the corrupt politicians and billionaires that want to tell us what we can say, teach, and do.

It’s time to wipe the slate.

Those in power have forgotten they work for *us*, not the billionaires and CEOs who fill their campaign war chests! We must elect leaders who will fight for Texas workers.

When we fight together, we win! 📣

We’re spotlighting Rep. Lauren Ashley Simmons, a proud member of Texas State Employees Union and the founder of the first-ever Texas Labor Caucus.

Lauren fights for us. It’s our turn to have her back at the ballot box for HD 146. #txlege

“The current state leadership has cowed down to billionaires.”

With proven pro-worker candidates at the helm, our schools could have the support they need to thrive. We need leaders that work with the experts—our families and educators, to help our students receive the education they deserve.

Workers aren’t just waiting for change—we’re running for it. ✊ Our union-first candidate, Montserrat Garibay, is ready to deliver for working families in Texas House District 49.

Let’s bring the union difference to the Texas Capitol!

“He’s not for labor. He’s just for the rich.”

While ignoring Texans’ needs, Greg Abbott has accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires.

We need elected officials that protect working Texans, not out-of-state billionaires that keep rigging the system against us.

Behind every new building in Texas is a workforce pushing through brutal heat.

Dozens of workers have died and thousands more face severe health issues because they were denied basic protections like water breaks. Put people over profits! #txlege
Texas workers face life-or-death heat risks as workplace protections lag
Texas has no statewide heat safety standard for workers, even as OSHA data and researchers suggest workplace heat illnesses are sharply undercounted.

✊ TEXAS UNION WIN: Hidalgo ISD union members just won BIG for district staff! 

After months of showing up and taking collective action, workers won a 5% cost-of-living adjustment for teachers and a $15/hr minimum wage for hourly employees.

That’s the union difference!

Working people are tired of being left behind. We need elected leaders who understand the struggles workers face every day.

How do we do that and create an economy that works for all of us? We elect our union family up and down the ballot nationwide.
