I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I get the Pilsen Community Books e-newsletter and they announced they’re moving, luckily to another part of Pilsen.
But the landlord in their current location on 18th and Carpenter raised their rent by 50%! Not sustainable for small businesses. Happy they are staying alive and expanding elsewhere.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
