Just spitballing here, but if you like the flight attendants ending the shutdown in mere hours, imagine the swift improvements to our government and society we could achieve if *all* workers were organized. Like, idk, as a class? For itself?
Sinema says she hasn't heard from constituents in AZ in support of the Build Back Better bill, but these are the barriers we're met with every time we try to reach her. Why are millions of phone calls, attempts for constituent meetings, and rallies outside her office not enough?
*extremely doing a bit voice* What if we just had one big GoFundMe that everyone paid into based on their income that was administered by the federal gov so no one had to bother their fb friends about their heart transplant sure seems like that would save everyone a lot of hassle
@SenMarkKelly
Senator Sinema is unreachable by her constituents unless you bring a fat check to lobby her with. Blocking legislation that protects her constituents from falling into human trafficking while flaunting your contempt for them is beyond "inappropriate."
We made over 1,000,000 constituent calls and rallied outside her office in support of the PRO Act. Key portions of that bill are included in the Build Back Better Act. Yet Sinema claims not to have heard from constituents.
During last night’s raid on ASU’s Gaza solidarity encampment, over 50 arrests were made and the encampment was destroyed by city, county, state, and campus police.
Shame on the cops, politicians, and college administrators who condone this violent suppression of peaceful protest.
Any discomfort Sinema felt for a few moments on Sunday is nothing compared to what her constituents experience every day in fear of assault with no recourse in the gig economy or violent separation from their loved ones because of their immigration status.
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice."

Awesome piece by our chapter secretary in NYT. We won’t save the planet by consumers “going green” or voters putting “smart” elites in charge. We’ll save it by fighting capitalism.

@SenatorSinema
was even invited to come meet with us multiple times, and this is how she responded. We shouldn't have to show up at the swanky Royal Palms Resort and Spa where she went out of her way to meet with corporate lobbyists.
Why won't Mark Kelly respond to thousands of constituent calls and co-sponsor a bill that strengthens unions, which he's rightly called the "backbone of the working class?"

“FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!”
Phoenix DSA proudly stands in solidarity with students, activists, and anti-imperialists from around AZ in the fight for a free Palestinian and free speech.
Finished another canvass today in Phoenix! We had so many great conversations with voters about why
@BernieSanders
is the best presidential candidate on health care, the environment, and so much more.
#NotMeUs
We didn't get a chance to post this because we were socialisting too hard, but we volunteered yesterday at
@StMarysFoodBank
and helped pack 549 emergency food boxes! That's 15,921lbs of food!
The climate crisis will mean relocation for countless millions. We have to build a world where borders aren't used to dehumanize the victims of our ecological disaster.
Cops fired tear gas into the crowd without warning tonight.
If you or someone you know is an abortion supporter and arrested while attending tonight's event, call this number.
Phoenix DSA proudly announces our new priority campaign:
ARIZONA WORKS TOGETHER
Fact: “Right-To-Work” laws hurt your wages. Every year, workers in “RTW” states make ~$10,000 less than other US workers. That’s why we’re fighting to end RTW in AZ.
We want fair laws for fair pay!
On Saturday, volunteers will be replacing and repairing brakelights to reduce the number of unnecessary police stops working class and marginalized Arizonans face.
We're all smiles because tabling for Bernie is so easy; turns out when a candidate is working tirelessly to improve the lives of everyone, everyone seems to like him!
Welcome to Mark Kelly Mondays! Kelly has to know that he's one of just 3 Senators between us and the PRO Act. The question is simple: why is he standing in the way of better working conditions for his own constituents?
Today, over 100 local demonstrators marched on Honeywell’s Phoenix, AZ factory to protest the multi-national conglomerate’s active enabling of Zionist war crimes.
"I'm a survivor of human trafficking. And what has Sinema done to ensure that people like me are safe? She is blocking progress and getting legislation passed that I need so I never fall into human trafficking again!" There are human costs to Sinema's brand of obstruction.
People in AZ are suffering under the effects of the escalating climate crisis with hotter summers, an intensifying drought, and bigger more severe fires. A bill that drops any attempt to address this while enriching those responsible for funding it is unacceptable.
