John,
Welcome to Netroots Nation Day 3!
 Yesterday's keynote kicked off with two powerful conversations about confronting capitalism and greed and the importance of supporting workers as we envision a new economy.
"Everybody has to be David going up against Goliath. It can't just be the Amazon Labor Union; we all have to get ready to storm the door." –Chris Smalls, Amazon Labor Union
"Democracy is on the brink of collapse because we exist in a system of capitalism ... The problem is that capitalism is about profits, it's not about people." –Sara Nelson, Association of Flight Attendants
Then we heard a powerful call to resist, re-organize, and reimagine in response to the far-reaching impacts of recent Supreme Court decisions.
"I don't live with the Founding Fathers. I am a Founding Mother of a New America." –LaTosha Brown, Black Voters Matter
