📸 ** to the NEBCD 27th Annual Labor Day Picnic!** 💛🖤

What a day! CBTU San Antonio showed up in full force, decked out in yellow and fired up to get out the vote for this year's midterms. We celebrated two of our own: Chapter President **Mary Finger**, Labor Woman of the Year, and Chapter VP **Don Edge**, Labor Man of the Year. Connecting with union siblings from across San Antonio, the energy in the room was clear: **working families are ready to vote.**

The stakes are high this November, and every vote counts. Make sure yours does.

👏🏾 **Congratulations, Don Edge — Labor Man of the Year!** 👏🏾

At the North East Bexar County Democrats' 27th Annual Labor Day Picnic, our own CBTU San Antonio Chapter Vice President Don Edge was honored as **Labor Man of the Year**.

Don serves as President of AFGE Local 3511, Vice President of the AFGE 10th District VA Council, Vice President of the SATX Chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, and Vice President of the Texas AFL-CIO.

In his acceptance speech, Don pointed to President Trump's attacks on AFGE and federal workers as a clear reason to get out and vote. Here's what he's up against:

⚠️ **March 2025:** President Trump signed an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from roughly two-thirds of the federal workforce, citing "national security."
⚠️ **August 2025:** The VA terminated its union contracts, cutting off bargaining rights for about 370,000 VA employees, including those AFGE represents.
⚠️ **September 2025:** The Bureau of Prisons terminated AFGE's contract covering more than 30,000 prison workers.
⚠️ **March 2026:** A federal judge ordered the VA to restore AFGE's contract. The VA restored it on paper, then moved to re-terminate it. The fight continues in court.

These are the workers who care for our veterans. Don reminded us that rights won at the bargaining table can be erased with the stroke of a pen, and our votes are how we defend them.

🗳️ **Mark your calendar:**
✅ **Last day to register:** Monday, October 5
✅ **Early voting begins:** Monday, October 19 (runs through Friday, October 30)
✅ **Election Day:** Tuesday, November 3

Mary serves as President of the SATX Chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Labor Advocate on the local NAACP Executive Committee, and Executive Board Member of the AFL-CIO.

In her acceptance speech, Mary didn't just say thank you. She issued a call to action: **get registered, get your family registered, and vote.** She reminded us how critical this election is for working families, and that our power at the ballot box is only as strong as our turnout.

🎉 **Congratulations, Lukas Taliaferro!** 🎉

Lukas bought just one raffle ticket at the Labor Day Picnic and won our beautiful gift basket! Since he's a long way from being old enough to enjoy the w**e, Louise offered him a choice: the basket or $75 cash. After some serious thinking, he took the cash and generously shared $5 with his younger brother. 💙

The good news: the basket is back up for grabs at our next raffle, valued at well over $100, thanks to Louise's talent and generosity! 🧺✨

Stay tuned for details, and get your tickets early!
