No one in America should have to strike for a safe workplace and a livable wage.
Both should be guaranteed.
Workers @dollargeneral in stores across the South are striking against unsafe working conditions and unlivable wages.
@RaisingUptheSouth is organizing workers for $15/hr and a union.
Workers have vowed not to stop until their demands are met.

So proud of the peaceful civil disobedience on the part of Congressional staffers at @SenSchumer office today.
They represent the best of their generation and the best of America.
The days of sitting around waiting for incremental changes to address the climate crisis are over.
USCP arrested six House staffers this afternoon for protesting inside @SenSchumer’s office demanding the majority leader restart negotiations to pass climate legislation.
“He’s giving up, but some of us are going to live through the climate crisis,” @saaaauuull told @NBCNews

There's something obscene about older people making it harder for younger people to create a survivable future.
