Ohio AFL-CIO:
We didn’t realize the @ohiogop on the Redistricting Commission can literally only do one thing at a time? Sure seems they can attack working people and voting rights at the same time. But when it comes to following the Constitution, that seems to have them flustered? https://t.co/RvWhAwcsVu

Virginia AFL-CIO:
To deny the events on January 6 is to deny the existence of violent extremism in our country & to insult the lives of those who were tragically lost that day. We *cannot* afford for Virginia to fall backwards. Make a plan to vote TODAY before or on Nov. 2!https://t.co/Oo160oGkue

Essential reading from @AccountableNW on the anti-union Freedom Foundation’s extremist ties. We know the worker solidarity we build in organized labor is a direct threat to white nationalists and extremists – and we’re proud of it. #1u https://t.co/eqnP5EF7MB
