Pride at Work

10/10/2026

Pride At Work’s national team is on the road and on the doors with our members across the country this fall getting out the vote👟

Last weekend we were in Minnesota. Today we are in Michigan.

Up next:

📍San Antonio 10/17
Register: bit.ly/tx10-17

📍Phoenix 10/24
Register: bit.ly/az10-24

It’s going to take all the tools in our toolbox to stop the authoritarian takeover of our country and build economy and government that values people over corporate profits. 💪

That means going directly to our union siblings and neighbors with organizing conversations about what is impacting them most.

And we must protect our right to vote with a landslide turnout that cannot be denied.

Together we will create a future where trans and q***r people not only have respect and safety, but can truly thrive! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

🚨Action Alert:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is proposing a new rule that would drastically overhaul the process federal employees must follow when challenging workplace discrimination. These changes would severely harm the ability of 2SLGBTQIA+ federal workers to have a fair process and remedy when they face discrimination on the job.

🕯🏳️‍🌈 Last night Desi Navarro spoke on behalf of Pride At Work at the Tucson vigil for Vinny Siqueiros and Cam Capara. Desi is a Pride At Work member and Vice President of CWA Local 7000 who holds several other state and national labor leadership roles.

📄 Pride At Work's Statement on the Hate-Motivated Murder of 2 Men Outside a Tucson Gay Bar:

Pride At Work and 2SLGBTQIA+ union members across the country stand in solidarity with the Tucson and Arizona q***r community as they grapple with the devastating murder of Vincent Siqueiros and Cameron Capara. These beloved men were targeted simply because they were outside a gay bar. Our hearts go out to Vinny and Cam’s family and friends, who should not have to grieve this loss and injustice.

No one should have to live in fear or danger because of who we love or who we are. We all deserve the freedom to live and work as our true selves, and move through the world with safety and respect.

Unfortunately, the murder of Vinny and Cam is not an isolated incident or random act of violence. The shooter had a list of more LGBTQ-associated businesses in his pocket. And every day right now q***r and trans people in the United States face a climate of rapidly increasing hate and bigotry in our workplaces, schools, and communities.

This environment has been intentionally cultivated by extremist politicians and their billionaire backers who seek to distract the working class from their real agenda: lining their own pockets while the rest of us struggle to keep a roof over our heads. They use fearmongering against immigrants and trans people while passing bills and signing executive orders to make our healthcare more expensive, take food away from hungry kids, and bust unions.

But union members are not falling for it. From Stonewall to Selma to our unions, we know that the power of everyday people joining together and protecting each other is how we secure freedom for us all. In honor of Vinny, Cam, and everyone lost to homophobic and transphobic violence, we recommit ourselves to fighting for a country where everyone is free to be themselves and thrive.

Pride At Work joins a mighty coalition of labor, faith, and community organizations calling for solidarity and unity.

We echo Minnesota AFL-CIO President (and Pride At Work Lifetime Member!) Bernie Burnham:

“Instead of holding federal agents accountable for shooting and killing Renée Good and our union brother Alex Pretti, the Trump administration continues to weaponize the Justice Department to settle political scores and intimidate American citizens for being good neighbors and exercising their constitutional rights.

Any charges should be based on credible evidence and established facts, not speculation or political pressure from the White House.

This past winter, the Trump administration tried to break Minnesotans’ solidarity and basic sense of decency by flooding our state with armed agents. They failed. Now they are trying to break us in the courtroom. They will fail again.”

We’re fed up with unchecked corporate greed and wealthy executives ignoring their workers and breaking labor laws more than any other company in modern U.S. history 👎😡

Pride At Work is proud to join workers to until baristas win a fair union contract. When workers take on one of the biggest corporations in the world, they shouldn't have to do it alone.

Join us and stand with union baristas – take the pledge and let’s show Starbucks that working people stand with baristas until they win 💪

Much love to our union siblings in the Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) who are standing up against bad-faith right wing attacks on trans people 🏳️‍⚧️💜

The timing of these publicity stunts and political ads is no coincidence!
The November elections are approaching and Americans are struggling to afford groceries and gas.

These attacks on trans people are the strategies of billionaires, and the MAGA politicians they fund, to distract from their anti-worker, anti-union agenda. They want to divide and distract the working class while they continue to rig the economy and government in favor of the rich. But Labor isn't falling for it!

Tomorrow in Chicago, Palo Alto, New Orleans, DC, LA, Portland, Austin & Asheville! 📢✊

Palantir is the real-life evil corporation working behind the scenes to enable ICE killings and detentions, costly and illegal wars abroad, surveillance and abuse of our personal data, and more.

Led by National Nurses United, healthcare workers, patients, and community allies are mobilizing on Thursday, August 27th across the United States to demand hospitals, elected officials, and our government immediately cut ties with tech giant Palantir.

Find an action at nnu.org/Palantir-Out-DOA

You can help us create the critical public pressure we need to purge Palantir from our hospitals and put the emphasis back on patient care, not profit-driven tech partnerships!
