Storied organizer Sam Luebke had passed away. Solidarity to all his comrades. Here’s a brilliant piece he wrote with Jennifer Luff 20 years ago, reprinted in @forgeorganizing.bsky.social. It was the very first thing The Forge ran. forgeorganizing.org/article/orga...

The NY11 constituents who spoke at tonight’s Malliotakis Empty Chair Town Hall were 🔥 Raw, vulnerable, real, and powerful voices. Nicole must listen to them - she works for THEM. Can’t wait to share some video soon. @indivisible.org @1199seiu.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social

My new book, "We Always Had a Union: The New York Hotel Workers’ Union, 1912-1953," is OUT NOW. It's a sweeping history of one sustained early 20th century union effort, through craft unionism, the IWW, the Communist Party, gangster corruption, industry-wide bargaining, Cold War backlash & more.
