“In your desperate effort to deflect attacks from the likes of Elise Stefanik, you have abandoned the principles of academic freedom—including our obligation to engage in truthful, accurate, and nuanced discourse—and sacrificed the safety of our colleagues.” - Robin Kelley

Renowned labor organizer Jane McAlevey (@rsgexp) says the UAW's success in unionizing a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee was "a beatdown" of management. A bigger test, she says, will be whether workers can do the same at Mercedes in Alabama.

Question: if parishioners can move several times but still return to their "home" church, how to do we develop an organization whereby workers can churn from low-wage job to low-wage job but still identify with a particular labor organization?

The many crises we face call on us to aim higher, to seek transformational changes in who holds power in our cities. That means:

💪 organizing more people
🌱 fueling hope for what’s possible
🏹 being ambitious in our strategy

Why the new name and look?
