Only 2% of Congress comes from the working class. UAW members across the country are coming together and winning elections to change that. It's time to send working people like Randy Villegas to Congress to deliver for our communities.

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath is joining thousands of UAW members to back Nithya Raman. We're proud to see so many new people joining this coalition as Election Day approaches. It’s time for workers to have a voice in city hall.

Last year, a majority of tutors at the University of California signed up as dues-paying members of UAW 4811. Last semester, thousands of us picketed across the state for a strong contract. Yesterday, I got an $8/hour raise. That's the power of a union. #uaw #1u

4,000 new ASEs have joined UAW 4811 since the start of orientations. How did we do it?

JD Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut the wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular that we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

They told us this bill was dead. They were wrong. Governor Newsom just signed SB 895. The $7.5 BILLION California Science and Health Research Bond is officially heading to the ballot. This is a massive win, but it’s not the end of the fight.

DSA has a historic opportunity to disrupt the corporations that have hijacked LA politics by endorsing Nithya Raman for Mayor and Marissa Roy as City Attorney—intervening on the side of labor. That’s the case made by UNITE HERE Local 11 leaders and DSA-LA members Juan Muñoz-Guevara (@JuanForLynwood) & Mary Entoma, UAW leader & DSA-LA member Aya Konishi, and Socialist in Office Estefany Alejandra Castañeda (@southbaystef). In this Geese exclusive, this collective of electeds and union leaders make the case that the Raman endorsement is an opportunity for DSA-LA to become a serious force in labor’s biggest fight yet — the 2028 moment.

Nithya Raman fought the tech landlords and earned their enmity. With the Olympics looming, DSA-LA union members argue she is the mayor workers need.

If this idiot had his way, postdocs would still be making $18k a year (like many did at UC before the postdocs won their first union!) while him and his friends worked them 80 hours a week, dangled their visas and career prospects over their head, and stole all the credit.

Two former United Auto Workers organizers make the case for what they call a “leadership density” union organizing model. That model was central to recent UAW breakthroughs, and we should accept no substitutes in similar campaigns. jacobin.com/2026/04/labor-st…

Across America, science and math research is being slashed by the Trump administration. As a University of California alum, I support SB 895 to counter this, funding science research across California institutions. See link below (link not in OP to avoid annoying deboosting).

I’m a union organizer, Assemblymember, and democratic socialist running for Congress in NY-07. I came to politics through low-wage jobs and the labor movement. That’s the perspective I’ll bring to Washington to take on oligarchy, fascism, and war—and win for working people.

UC depends on the work of both TAs and GSRs, but allows massive pay gaps that push researchers into precarity. ASEs are fighting for fair pay and salary parity that reflects the value of all our labor.

Trump and his administration are spending billions on a regime change operation that 70% of Americans oppose. UAW 4811 members oppose this betrayal of the public interest and call on our members of Congress to do the same: uaw4811.org/updates/uaw-4811…
