The Sun-Times Guild and WBEZ’s SAG-AFTRA are UNION STRONG in our fights for a fair contract.

Manual labor, along with the multiple jobs many fathers and mothers take on, becomes the language of love, a warm security blanket that ensures we may have what they never did.” — Vanessa writes.

All week, but particularly last night, there was a palpable contrast between the DNC party celebrating Kamala Harris at the United Center and the thousands in Chicago chanting about genocide blocks away, trying to get the Democrats’ attention. https://t.co/ImrBCmYH1S
