One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback.

When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

A Gambit can also be defined as a “strategic maneuver”—commonly referenced in chess (as a set of opening moves intended to create a tactical advantage).

So yes, you can “run a gambit” the same way you “run a play” in sports.
You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
