Got personal days you need to use before the end of the year? Remember the last 5 days of school are blackout days. Take the afternoon off and join this event!

If you're upset about Governor Spanberger's veto of the historic collective bargaining legislation, you're not alone. Now is the time to show up and speak out about this betrayal.

Join us in solidarity at 4 p.m. on Thursday May 21 in Richmond to march for workers' rights. This event is being organized alongside our union partners in the Virginia Public Sector Labor Coalition.

We will not be silent in the face of union busting.

Show your solidarity! Join us at 1111 E Broad St., Richmond, VA 23219 on May 21 at 4pm.
