I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.
It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.
We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.
