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.

As progressives and DSAs have been winning special elections and primaries, the establishment Democrats have been openly voicing their concern that the left-wing divisions of the party are changing what the party stands for.
To them, apparently, it's a big-tent party only so long as we offer our votes but not our opinions.
Fortunately, the party's leadership is beginning to recognize that blanket support of Israel has turned into a non-starter position. AIPAC support has become an albatross in many elections, to the point that AIPAC is using shell PACs to anonymously support opponents to pro-Palestine candidates.
More and more, it's evident that support of Israel is less about support of the Jewish peoples and more about support of a stratified world order that is controlled by an ultra-wealthy oligarchy.
