I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

a humble tip for reading this piece:
resist the urge to say "hey! my union IS doing [x,y, or z]" and ask why it isn't so clear that your union is doing x, y, or z, (and doing it so well and at the scale NECESSARY right now), that it couldn't have possibly made it into this piece to begin with.

I have an opinion piece in the New York Times today on how the labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues.

If you are wondering what I mean by a lot of work:
1. We need to get 51 members of the City Council on record re: our demand.
2. We need to organize our neighbors to pressure the members who do not support the demand.
3. We need to continue to be vigilant to ensure that it's not a 1 year thing.
