A Punk Mom Bench?!? This morning I got the opportunity to meet @krm-union.bsky.social steward @lifeofmonotony.com at a bench that is very important to him. Remembering one’s roots is important. Live your values. Stay Punk! Are benches punk?

Great news! DKM stands in solidarity with us by releasing a shirt design to benefit our union members. They have made it the only item available for sale in their merch store with our company. We're so excited with how their team has shown up for us- this is a group demonstrating their principles.

We Unionized back in May. At our first scheduled bargaining session, we were threatened with the entire warehouse being shut down. That's textbook unionbusting from KRM and Sony Music Entertainment. Read our full statement and sign up for updates here: linktr.ee/krmunion
