70% of faculty at the University of Southern California voted to form a union for better wages and benefits. Instead of recognizing the union, USC is working overtime to deny their right to a union. That is beyond unacceptable. USC must drop its appeal & bargain in good faith.

Kids are spending up to 15 hours a day on digital platforms. Many are losing sleep and withdrawing from family, friends and community life. According to experts, this has the same impact on the brain as drug addiction. Our kids’ well-being must come before Big Tech's profits.

Countries across Europe just saw their hottest spring on record and are now seeing another record heatwave. Meanwhile, Trump wants MORE fossil fuels and carbon emissions. He is putting the planet and future generations at risk for the profits of his Big Oil friends.
