They're up by pushing millions of others down.

It worked.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

“So do I. And so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

They’re nearly 90 years old. They made sense in the 1930s. They don’t now. Let’s fix that.

It's not that they can't afford to treat workers better. It's that they've chosen not to.

Crazier still how vehemently people will defend it.

[Putting Workers First @PutWorkersFirst]

Yes. Yes. YES.

From Hattie Canty to Dolores Huerta to Mother Jones, women have always been at the center of the labor movement. Organizing, striking, leading, and fighting for dignity. They’ve been there shoulder to shoulder the whole way. And they still are.

Dark money has poisoned our politics.

Unlimited cash buys influence, writes the rules, and drowns out working people. That’s not democracy.

If a candidate won’t support overturning Citizens United, they’re choosing money over you.

Don’t excuse it. Don’t vote for them. Period.

9-5 jobs are comfort pay.

They give you just enough money to make it hard to leave.

Then you buy a car, buy a house, and have kids. Then it's just too much risk to quit the job.

Next thing you know, you blink, and you're 50+.

It's all an illusion. They need us. We don't need them.

All these gains came from labor. Every innovation. Every productivity jump. Every dollar of value. Workers made it possible. They created it. That should have secured their futures and their place continuing to build it moving forward. Instead, they got pink slips.
