“We have the power! Nothing can move without our labor.” Today, delegates heard from our union sister, @afacwa.org President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social. Thank you for supporting letter carriers and standing in solidarity with our members.

We have two weeks until election day and this campaign has never been better. I've been fighting for hardworking families my entire career. It's time to take that fight to Washington. Join us.
I couldn't be more grateful for the ATU's support. As a union flight attendant, I know the issues transit workers face & I’ll continue to be a champion for them in Washington. Workers need fair wages, safety on the job, good benefits and universal healthcare.
This campaign doesn't take a dime of corporate PAC $$. That's why I'm endorsed by ECU. It's time to elect leaders who are accountable to their communities. Not to wealthy donors, corporations, billionaires, or special interests. Thanks @tiffanymuller.bsky.social for joining us last week.
Thank you to these amazing AFA flight attendants for joining our campaign for the week. It's time to send someone to Congress who knows the value of hard work firsthand, because working people need a seat at the table in Washington. This is what solidarity looks like.
I've been fighting for workers my whole career. That's why I got into this race. But don't take it from me, take it from my union President, Sara Nelson. Thank you for having my back @afacwa.org
Working people don't have a voice in Washington. I'm running to change that. Thank you to all my union brothers and sisters who came out today for our Rally for Working Families and special thanks to my union President Sara Nelson for joining us here in Minnesota! Let's go win this.
Only 3% of Congress comes from the working class. I'm running to change that. We're just 15 days from election day and we need all the help we can get. Sign up to knock on doors, phonebank, textbank, host a lawn sign, or make a contribution. Join us: www.mobilize.us/kaelaforcong...
Some of the joy captured from this weekend 👇 Two weeks until Election Day and Team Kaela is feeling good!
Huge shout out to the flight attendants, from across the country, who are knocking doors for this campaign while they are on a LAYOVER at MSP. I am humbled & inspired by every single one of you. Flight attendant power is real. If they can knock a packet, so can you.
Today I had to miss Leprechaun Days in Rosemont for my annual Flight Attendant safety training. That's just a day in the life when you're still working while running for Congress. I couldn't ask for a better team. Thanks so much to everyone who came out today!
Thank you @aft.org and @rweingarten.bsky.social for your support of our campaign! Flight Attendants and teachers organizing and fighting for the working class! ✊

Like I told the @aft.org convention yesterday, everyone must read this book by @rweingarten.bsky.social to understand and blunt fascist tactics. But it is also a love letter to teachers who help us think critically and to all union members who help working people have the chance to thrive. Read it!

The AFT now has our highest membership ever, and we'll use our power to win elections this November. America's working families deserve leaders who believe in opportunity and economic security for all. More in @rweingarten.bsky.social's latest New York Times column. www.aft.org/column/build...
Sara Nelson is all-in for the AFT in our own fights. She deplored the conditions too many educators work under. She also struck a note of deep solidarity with AFT values: “Education is a foundation of democracy, and healthcare is a human right.” @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

ICE arrested more than 10,000 people last week. We cannot ignore their continued abuse and violation of human rights. It’s time to abolish ICE and replace it.

Our flying partners in Guam need our help. Guam was hit by Typhoon Bavi, which was even more intense than the destructive Typhoon Sinlaku that hit the island just months ago. Help our flying partners in Guam by donating to the AFA Disaster Relief Fund: unionly.io/o/afadrf/rel...
Listen to Flight Attendant instructions. Every second counts during an emergency. In the event of an evacuation, leave all bags behind and don’t film or take photos. @iata.org, the FAA, the EASA, and @ifalpa.bsky.social on this critical public safety campaign: www.iata.org/en/youandiat...
“@kaela15.bsky.social’s message is rooted in her biography. “In an economy where so many working families are struggling, they don’t feel like they’re heard, that politicians in Washington, as they enrich themselves, don’t understand what the average family is struggling through right now,”

Other Democratic candidates across the country are using their lived experiences to advocate for structural economic and political change.”
🚨 Endorsement Alert 🚨 Thank you to @ourrevtc.bsky.social for endorsing my campaign for Congress. It's time we stand up to the billionaires corrupting our politics and raising prices for all of us by electing working people to Congress. Let's do this!
Please return your seat backs to their upright and locked positions: we just earned the endorsement of the incredible flight attendants at @afacwa.org!
Delta Air Lines' internal policies state "harassment has no place" at the airline. Four current and former flight attendants say that has not been their reality.
Flight attendants accused instructor of harassment. Delta gave him a new job.

Delta flight attendants have the right to organize without intimidation from management. I stand with Delta AFA as they organize to form a union. #Unionstrong
