Why Did Harris-Walz and Pelosi Events Allow Scab Employees of the Pittsburgh Newspaper In The Door? At 23 Months, This is the Longest Currently Running Strike in the US. — Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

Political Campaigns Need to Stop Crossing the Picket Line. The Allegheny County Democratic Committee (ACDC) Needs to Fix This and Do Better.

Electing Democrats is the overarching goal of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee and utilizing grassroots political tactics is one of the most powerful and effective ways to accomplish this goal. Democratic committee members are charged with being the Democratic voice in their precincts. Committee members are at their best when they are engaging with their neighbors, talking about issues, and encouraging voters to support Democratic candidates.

This is the mission, the focus of the Allegheny County Democratic Committee (ACDC). I interpret this as a pipeline of sorts of information from the local community up to the party and campaigns.

Now to be fair, I’m skeptical overall of the ACDC. I’ve lived in Manchester for nearly 20 years and no one from the party has ever made contact with me. Same with my prior residences. Still, times are a changing thanks to a n influx of progressive Dems.

Still, I am immensely disappointed that the ACDC leadership has not publicly addressed DNC leadership crossing the Post-Gazette workers’ picket line. Twice in three days. Click here to learn more about the strike.

On Sunday, the Harris-Walz campaign staff permitted a scab photojournalist with the Post-Gazette to attend the kick-off rally in Pittsburgh. When union members protested, the staff confabbed and let him stay. I learned about this directly from a union member who was there.

On Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi hosted a luncheon featuring the styling of Pittsburgh’s own Billy Porter. Once again, a scab reporter from the Washington Bureau of the PG was admitted and able to file a full story. I learned about this when Google alerts showed me a byline for a scab reporter.
