H.R. 9495 includes a poison pill provision that is a serious threat to nonprofits, incl. unions. This bill would remove due process and hand over considerable power to the next Trump admin. Join us in urging Congress to vote NO on H.R. 9495.🔗https://t.co/kbmYTMI1Sn #1u pic.twitter.com/hRqQ7DrcaK

Shame on Anheuser-Busch for closing Elysian in Seattle rather than negotiating a contract with brewery workers!
