Massachusetts AFL-CIO:
The Labor Movement knows a little something about standing up to bullies. A bully seeks to divide us using the things that they think make us different, rather than uniting us in solidarity. The things that unite us far out way those that divide us. Work unites us all. https://t.co/FhXDh5jRRF pic.twitter.com/B0vZnjKe6e

Oregon Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO:
Thousands of working class Oregonians showed the unstoppable force of organized labor on Saturday. The ultra-wealthy try to divide us by our job classifications, our identities, who we love, and our immigration status.
But when working people stand united, we can’t be divided.… pic.twitter.com/zm7KuwJIXB
