I investigate the catastrophic injury & death of working people. How a society values those who do its work is the way to measure its goodness. No one should be permanently injured or killed trying to make a living.

We need a government that prioritizes dignified safe work that pays a decent wage.
Everyone should be able to be safe & healthy- regardless of what work they do.We need construction workers, health care workers,people who pick up the trash & who work in restaurants.We should respect their importance

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."
