Today, in 1919, Emiliano Zapata Salazar (August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was assassinated. To many, he was a practical revolutionary and realist with the goal of achieving political and economic emancipation of the peasants in southern Mexico and leading them out of severe poverty.

113 years ago, 146 workers - mostly young immigrant women - lost their lives in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. They were trapped behind locked doors, treated as disposable.
We remember them by demanding safe, dignified work for all. Organizing is how we honor them.
