The rumors are true: I did, in fact, picket with Northwestern’s dining hall workers. Jokes aside, economic security for the working class with always start with unions. You could say they’re the most practical solution.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are. After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries. So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie. Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.
