I don't live in a country under dictatorial fascism. So I don't need to start a revolution.

Also what revolution was done by a single person?

Rosa Parks refusing to leave her seat on the bus was the catalyst for the Civil Rights movement just to name one. Greta Thunberg as an individual is the face of climate change and social economic change.

Then kindly shut the fuck up about what people you don't even live with should do.

Cool. Enjoy ICE or something I guess. Hope you don't sprain your ankle or you might end up homeless.

Thanks for your concern, I'll give it all the consideration it is due.

Greta didn't start shit and saying Rosa Parks 'started' the civil rights movement is historically illiteracy.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
