"Our democracy hangs in the balance. This is not an overstatement. If we do not learn the lessons of history and choose a radically different path forward, we may lose our last chance at creating a truly inclusive, egalitarian democracy."

[One Fair Wage @onefairwage]

“Never did it occur to me that it was fundamentally unjust for me to earn less than the minimum wage + to depend on the good will of strangers in order to earn what was guaranteed by law to most workers.” Michelle Alexander author / @thenewjimcrow @nytimes

Take the time to read @thenewjimcrow author Michelle Alexander's important and stirring piece in today's @nytimes https://t.co/cEBAr1qVjf

[The New Jim Crow @thenewjimcrow]

"Our representatives can choose to roll over to the trade lobby yet again and perpetuate a legacy of slavery, or they can choose to listen to the millions of workers and make history during Black History Month by ending the subminimum wage for tipped workers once and for all."

[The New Jim Crow @thenewjimcrow]

"I had no idea that tipping was a legacy of slavery or that racism and sexism had operated to keep women, especially Black women like me, shut out of federal protections for wage labor."

Abolish the Racist, Sexist Subminimum Wage https://t.co/3hF7YxSpGT

[The New Jim Crow @thenewjimcrow]

"For more than 150 years since Emancipation, the restaurant industry has poured millions of dollars into lobbying elected officials to maintain their exemption from having to pay their workers a fair wage.."
