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.

Not necessarily. I am recalling a friend of mine who is aiming to become a professional actor, but has only received small roles thus far. In between gigs, she works as a waitress, but her family's wealth is such that she has a tremendous safety net that others don't. Indeed, she has said that she'd be unable to become an actor if she were actually reliant on her waitressing income
See! Even waitresses have their own 1%!!!! They're everywhere!!!!
That was really interesting, thanks for sharing!
I hope she wins!
Honestly, her party needs more people like her.
