Organizing won't heal your trauma. Using that as fuel, rather than a commitment to liberation, is a recipe for burn-out & self-centered busy work. It's an obstacle to struggling together. We must work on ourselves as we work with others to make the world work for everyone.

The fact that 11 million people are losing their federal unemployment benefits or seeing their benefits reduced today, on "Labor Day," should tell you all you need to know about how much the US government values workers.

Strikes, by their very nature, are fueled by people who quite often literally only have their labor to withhold as leverage. That's why they work, why they're organized & coordinated, and why they require deliberate solidarity.
