In the meantime, we can support the workers by spreading information about the strike. They explicitly said before this that they want people to help raise awareness.

Very important matter to keep an eye on today: #California farm workers will be announcing the dates of a strike for citizenship and basic human rights. We will want to support their efforts and also be aware of the effect on food prices, which will mean more difficulty for many in our own communities nationwide. Obviously, it's got to be done, but the more of us who support the workers and each other, the less pain all around.

The #OneBigBeautifulBill act harms working Americans in many ways, just one of which is #unlawful #fees on Justice & Unions – it imposes a $350 fee on federal employees to file appeals w/the #MSPB, & charges unions for official time—despite being legally mandated.

“It’s catastrophic,” said Jodi Grant, executive director of the Afterschool Alliance, a group that works to expand after-school services for #students. She estimated that the federal dollars for after-school & summer-school programs — about $1.3 billion annually — support 1.4 million students, mostly lower income, representing about 20% of all students in after-school programs nationally.
The move is likely to be challenged in #court & has already been criticized [correctly characterized] as #illegal by #Democrats & #teachers’ #unions, who emphasized that the money had been appropriated by #Congress & was approved by #Trump in March as part of a broader #funding bill.
“This is lawless,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
"If you let workers believe that AI will soon replace them, they are going to try as much as they can to hold on to their jobs, do everything the boss says and behave so that they are not going to be fired."
