"As Americans, we tend to view ourselves as a shining example of freedom and prosperity to the rest of the world. But what does freedom mean in a society captured by billionaires, where elections are bought and paid for, and where you are “free” to do only that which you can afford?"

[Angela Lang @Angela_Lang]

It's been a rough couple of weeks for us. Folks know we are a tight family and team, not just coworkers.

[Convergence Magazine @_convergencemag]

Thanks to @sarahljaffe and Katie Miles at @thenation for their recent pieces honoring Jane. May we rise in remembrance in love and solidarity. We will honor her by choosing to win.

[Convergence Magazine @_convergencemag]

“Every day, there’s a strategic choice, the possibility of choosing a way to win. Let’s try to win today.”

Jane McAlevey, 1964–2024

May we go to funerals, weddings, cry together, love one another in solidarity.

May we struggle to win.

May we rise in remembrance.

[The Nation @thenation]

Part of what Jane taught is that winning is not inevitable, and neither is losing. Jane was obsessed with winning, and teaching others to win.

“People need a nap, they need to have funerals and weddings and cry, and it’s really intense out there. But I do feel hopeful that in the aftermath of people taking a bit of a break when they’re allowed to do so, I think there’s going to be a hell of a lot of retribution to pay.”

[Convergence Magazine @_convergencemag]

And that’s a little bit tempered by something as an organizer that I’m mindful of, which is they’re also exhausted, mentally spent, emotionally trashed,” McAlevey said.

[Convergence Magazine @_convergencemag]

“There’s a very interesting line we’re going to walk heading into the post pandemic moment. On the one hand, even more workers than normal are freaked out, pissed off, angry, want change, want it now....
