The Trump administrations head-spinningly absurd decisions on their illegal war on Iran may be by design.

In our current political climate, we must consider using as many avenues for power-building as possible. While we cannot forget the importance of our (albeit flawed) electoral system, we must also view labor and union activism as the invaluable tool for enforcing progressive change that it is (1/2)

A purple background depicts tools and actions often associated with blue collar labor. Text reads: “A brief note on synergizing labor strategy, based on articles written for Convergence by Leo Casey, as well as Alex Caputo-Pearl, Stephanie Luce, Jackson Potter, and Jesse Sharkey”

Black text on a pink background details examples of union activism in recent years and how they have noticeably affected their spheres of influence

Black text on a pink background explains that while working through the electoral system with the Democratic party is still very important, we must also try to push the party left, away from neoliberalism. This not only is more consistent with progressive beliefs, but it also will expand the DNC’s appeal to many working-class people who are currently apolitical or tentatively support Republicans

Black text on a pink background explains how union activism can play key roles in resisting authoritarianism, and that simply waiting to oust Republicans in the next election cycle will only give them more time to consolidate their own power

A quote from Wynn Howell reads: "The 'they/them agenda' is being used to sow working class division, but the fight for America's future requires us to stand together, every stripe and creed of working people, indivisible." The word "indivisible" is neon yellow on a dark background.
