From scorching job sites to flooded factories to overcrowded hospitals, workers are some of the first to face the repercussions of climate change. Please join We Power DC and Metro DC DSA for a conversation with local union representatives and climate experts about what's at stake for local and national workers. Panelists will share frontline experiences, discuss policy solutions, and explore how organized labor is leading the fight to build a more resilient future for the working class. We'll also explore how strong public institutions and public stewardship can help ensure these critical jobs continue serving workers and communities for generations to come.

It’s been one year since the DC Council signed the deal with the Commanders to bring a new stadium and neighborhood to the RFK campus. As the team races towards an 2030 opening day, recent hearings and developments have revealed some alarming developments:

• A transit plan that doesn’t account for 8,000 people - opening the door to yet another massive garage in the neighborhood

• Gas-burning at the stadium? Despite DC law forbidding it, it seems there are plans to burn methane gas to heat the stadium

• Shifting numbers and timelines for promised homes and affordable housing

• A community benefits program that still lacks clarity

Join us for a community assembly to dig into these issues, and explore what we can do together to ensure the redevelopment serves us all.

About RFK for All: The redevelopment of the former RFK Stadium site along the Anacostia River in Ward 7 presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the District. Done well, it can deliver new homes, sustainable development, improved public spaces, and provide stronger connections to the river and surrounding neighborhoods. Done poorly, it could leave DC taxpayers paying more than $1 billion for a suburban-style stadium that increases traffic, pollution, causes environmental harm to neighborhoods and nearby nature, and most importantly fails to meet community needs. To meet this moment, we have formed a coalition dedicated to ensuring that community voices meaningfully shape the redevelopment site and deliver results on our shared priorities. We want a new stadium and neighborhood that is a fair deal for DC, sustainably built and operated, transit first, and that maximizes affordable homes.

Red Cup Day is one of Starbucks' biggest days of the year and one of the busiest days for baristas. While Starbucks promotes holiday drinks and giveaways, more than 12,000 union baristas across the country have spent nearly five years organizing for a fair contract that addresses low wages, understaffing, unpredictable hours, and workplace protections.

Join Starbucks Workers United on Nebraska Avenue NW, outside Kerwin Hall, for a Red Cup Day Rally at 11am on Thursday, November 12. This is part of a coordinated national day of action at 46 universities across 25 states. Students, campus workers, labor unions, and community allies are coming together to support Starbucks baristas and build momentum for the national boycott.

American University maintains business ties with Starbucks through its campus location. This rally will bring the fight for a fair contract directly to campus, build student support for the boycott, and call on AU to cut ties with Starbucks until the company reaches a fair union contract.
