Hey John.
The government is shutdown. Masked kidnappers continue to terrorize our communities. And yes, that guy is still in charge. |

But here’s the thing. Authoritarians are weak and their allies are weirdo billionaires. They’re fueled by fear and vulnerable strategies that are easily dismantled through solidarity and strategic resistance. Their power is a carefully cultivated illusion, while our power is rooted in common sense care for our neighbors, dignity for our coworkers, and strength through community.
Keep scrolling for headlines that won’t make you spiral, highlights from the resistance, and more.

Jobs with Justice recently sent a delegation from Chicago, Portland, Arizona, and Colorado to the National Taskforce on Tradeswomen’s Issues Gathering and Tradeswomen Build Nations Conference. These spaces and events are critical to advancing the power of women and non-binary workers, especially in trades where they have long been underrepresented. Our delegation was able to deepen relationships, listen to tradeswomen’s experiences and share their own, and explored how we can further our solidarity and power. |
