🚨 NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED! 🎙️✊

Episode 4: They Say the Union Ain’t Political – Part 1: It Starts With the Members is officially LIVE!

People say the union and politics should be separate—but is that really true? In this episode, I break down how strong contracts are built, why member participation matters, the role of the Bargaining Team and Contract Action Team, and why it all starts with the members.

🎧 Featuring special conversations with:
⭐ Member of the Week: Michael Paradiso-Michau, Loyola Philosophy Teacher & Contract Action Team Member
👏 Special thanks to Illinois State Senator Mike Simmons for standing in solidarity with workers at the Loyola May Day strike.

Welcome — and thank you for being here. ✊🏾

Whether you’ve followed, joined, or just stopped by, I truly appreciate you taking a moment to connect. This page — The Power in Us — was created with purpose.

This is a space for union members, workers, and everyday people across the country to come together, learn, and grow. It’s about sharing our stories — the struggles, the victories, the lessons — and understanding what unions really are and the power we actually hold when we stand together.

Because the truth is…
In a time where labor is under attack…
Where working people and the middle class are constantly being pushed aside…
We can’t afford to be disconnected or uninformed.

This platform is about changing that.

It’s about:
• Building awareness
• Strengthening our voices
• Connecting across unions and industries
• And organizing in a way that ensures we have the right leadership in place to protect our interests

No matter what union you’re part of — or even if you’re just trying to learn — you are welcome here.

I encourage you to engage.
Share your experiences.
Ask questions.
Be part of the conversation.

Because the power was never at the top…
It’s always been in us.
