We must continue the fight.
And a special thanks to countless women whose invisible labor built the world, the economy, and the cause.

The House has passed the SAVE act, which will disenfranchise 21 million voters if turned into law.
This is a despicable, anti-democratic, and deliberate attempt to take votes away from women.

Not sure about the rest of y’all but when us regular folks (ie not billionaires and oligarchs) make an “administrative error” at work we:
1. Apologize
2. Fix it
3. Have talks with colleagues to figure out what went wrong, learn from it
It’s straightforward.

It’s the responsibility of the state to prove the accusation - not to demand proof of the negative. That’s illogical. Demanding everyone prove they’re NOT guilty is chaos, and takes away the possibility for any semblance of fairness between parties.

Sorry we missed equal pay day! We were all out providing our labor for a fraction of its value. Here’s some things you can do to help the fight toward equal pay:
1. Share pay information with colleagues (see the NLRA first)
2. Learn tactics for salary negotiation
3. Pay people more
