GOP’s 2026 campaign message so far:

“We’re raising prices with our policies—even though we say inflation is a hoax. We’re making you pay tariffs while cutting your programs, services, and jobs to give the wealthy even more tax cuts. We’re deporting longtime residents and law-abiding immigrants instead of dangerous criminals. We’re pardoning violent insurrectionists, drug cartel allies, s*x traffickers, and convicted white-collar felons. We’re boosting pesticides, micro plastics, carcinogens, and environmental pollutants. We’re grifting the government with crypto deals, foreign business, defense contracts, and insider trading. We’re sending your loved ones to another foreign war in the Middle East. We’ve failed to revitalize American manufacturing and the rural economy. We lied about Project 2025. And we’re covering up the Epstein Files from the public as best as we can.

And if you don’t like our policies, too bad because we will prosecute you via the DOJ, censor you, and suppress your vote so you can’t do anything about it.”

"Solidarity" is not an old slogan, it's a living force. 🇺🇸✊

What an incredible show in Greensburg for No Kings yesterday! Thanks to our members who showed up, including Paul Rozzi, GWLCLC's Sergeant at Arms, and Michael Hartung, GWCLC's president and No Kings speaker.

We think this passage from Michael’s speech sums it up:
“Folks, here’s the truth this king fears: when workers and citizens unite across race, gender, and industry, we’re unstoppable. We can win living wages. We can win affordable housing. We can win safe workplaces and dignified retirements. We can contain the specter of AI and the job losses that come.
AND we can dethrone kings.”

Fayette County workers have been without a contract since the end of 2025!

These are the people who keep the county running every day: 911 operators, court staff, custodians, Children & Youth Services workers, and more. After nine months of negotiations, they are still being offered raises as low as 1–2% and increased healthcare costs while elected officials have already received a 3% raise.

That’s not fair, and it’s not sustainable.

Join SEIU Local 668 workers at the Commissioners Meeting TODAY, March 19, at 10am at the Fayette County Courthouse. Following the meeting, workers will hold an informational picket until 1pm.

Show up if you can and stand with workers. Fayette workers deserve better.

Wishing you the luck of the Irish and solidarity today and every day!
