Hey there, Miss Clementine! Our field team loves being in community with workers across the country every day when we knock on their doors. Today we're highlighting Clementine the Clown, a full-time employee in Clayton County School District who we met through our Atlanta canvassing program.

Unfortunately, the full time job that she has is not enough to keep up with rising costs, so Clementine has been making ends meet with the ultimate side-hustle!

to be able to go home and rest after a full day's work, but the corporate greed and failed policies continue to put folks like Clementine the Clown in the position of having to work around the clock to make ends meet.

Shout out to !

The Bus Tour is in full swing, and our Field Team showed OUT once again!!!

Working people don't always know what to make of the chaos and division in this country, but we know one thing has stayed consistent. Management won't listen unless we make them listen.

Our Labor family is busy organizing folks across the country to ensure that ALL working folks are paid enough to live, care for our families, and build the futures we deserve. This bus tour is just one of the ways that we are actively pursuing a fair economy, so lock arms and stay in the fight with us until we cross the finish line!

The bus tour came through Georgia this week, and our field team came through to show love! We're not new to this; we're true to this fight for freedom, fairness, and security.

This administration is setting workers across the country up for a tough road, but we're standing with our brothers and sisters in the movement. And why do we fight? Because when we FIGHT, we WIN!!

✊✊✊ Yesterday, our brothers and sisters at the came together to launch a bus tour for Freedom, Fairness, and Security!

Workers in this country are not stupid - we see what's going on. The rich getting richer, and the rest of us working harder and longer to keep up with the basics. This bus tour will be a chance to stand with workers across the country, get organized, and fight for the fair economy we deserve!

Working America was happy to show up and show out, and we'll be fighting right beside our labor family every step of the way. We stand on the front lines to fill the gaps for workers who don't have a union to represent them on the job. And we're just getting started because when we FIGHT we WIN! 💪💪💪
