When you get to meet Women Union Presidents from Bangladesh who have fought for women in garment factories, made wins and been arrested. I am honoured to be beside you today at Labor Notes in Chicago.
I literally don’t understand how people adopt a title “ Organizer” while simultaneously be incapable of having friendly conversations with people they don’t know.

I crossed borders for our movement and knocked on doors in the cold, rain and snow. I would swim an 🌊 ocean too. I spent my own money for US. It isn’t over yet DNC. Bye

however, we still over aggregate the land and disrespect the land by overtoiling it for kale eating soy lifestyle, it's abusive to the land , its capitalism and consumption patterns that shift market based on trends.
I’m a Muslim and I condemn these statements. I will never join hands with right wing, fascist, hate mongering people. You want to hate someone ? Hate the billionaires who are causing real oppression, devastation, poverty, wars and suffering.
Big turn out for Palestine in Toronto. This is just one of the many ongoing actions happening across the country. Local Indigenous communities have come out and drawn a lot of love ❤️ from the crowds. The understanding that there is “no peace on stolen land” is clear.
we are allowed to acknowledge that OTHER COUNTRIES do contribute in meaningful ways to our history and progression. it doesn't always have to be a moment for you to say how awful it is everywhere BUT AMERICA.

Canada’s mining industries have a horrific violent history whether it’s in Latin America, Africa or within Canada from its very “creation” settler colonialism. Canada has no right to interfere but it obviously will as it’s never been peaceful or neutral.
The President of Burkina Faso orders the expulsion of a Canadian mining company from the country and the confiscation of 200 kilograms of gold.
Are they playing with fire? Canada may send their army?
“L3 Harris your hands are red 5000 children dead” Trade unionists, workers and community organizations are answering calls by Palestinian workers and their unions to end the arming of Israel, BDS and ceasefire”
What I was I reminded of by these Organizers at Amazons across America:

I’ve spent 6 years of my life organizing in unions, before that my own community...I have sat in my car at 2 am for shift workers in minus weather to finish a vote. I have driven people for 6 yrs to votes. I don’t think people actually know how much we work for the collective.
organizer rant: we cannot keep writing letters. I know we're in a lockdown but we can't just write a letter. we have to organize in creative ways. think outside of the box. think of how we can make an impact, think of their power and map their networks.

describing this proposal as “using prisoners to ease labor shortages” instead of “choosing slave labor over wage increases” is not a matter of responsible objectivity but rather of conscious editorial choice.
A lot of activists are threatened by ordinary people holding space and actually moving people into action. Self identified activists have shallow mobilization models that keeps them looking like a star. People will never win with these models.
Today workers in Toronto are standing in solidarity with workers across the world 🌎 to Palestine. We are urging governments to stop paying for weapons of war and militarization against Palestinian people. We say no to these genocidal Israeli government. We say no to Apartheid.

US is not withdrawing from Afghanistan; it's just privatizing the occupation. Mercenaries, special forces, CIA operatives and airstrikes will remain....as we sit here the US is actually beefing up its military presence

"The US didn't re-enter Iraq in 2014 to stop ISIS, the US re-entered Iraq in 2014 to stop Qasem Soleimani from stopping ISIS."
Our money goes to police wasting everyone’s time and violence... it should be put into resources and social services that are needed during the pandemic.

Malcolm X speaking at July 1962 New York rally called to support fight for union recognition by Local 1199. Malcolm praised Leon Davis, SEIU Local 1199 president, who spent 30 days in jail rather than comply with court order to call off 56-day strike by hospital workers.
Canada and India purposefully traps student workers into schemes and steals wages and exploits them. These International students and workers are organizing across borders, cities and demanding an end to wage theft.

People don’t even know it was illegal for unions to strike and they had to win the right to strike, you have to win the right to be in a union, every right in the workplace was won through a battle between worker and employer.
