Ohio AFL-CIO:
While this issue is a joke to many, it’s another example of an extreme, activist state Supreme Court that puts corporate donors to the @GOP over people.

Texas AFL-CIO:
In June, Houston ISD lost more teachers than they typically lose in a YEAR.
Meanwhile, Gov. Abbott is trying to funnel public dollars away from public schools - right into the pockets of wealthy families & unaccountable private schools.
Our teachers & students deserve better.— Texas AFL-CIO (@TexasAFLCIO) August 5, 2024
