Farm workers are out in freezing 39° temps, pruning vines for just 40 cents per vine—backbreaking work that puts food on our tables. Meanwhile, CEOs rake in millions. This is why we fight for fair pay & dignity for ALL workers.

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury. I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one. It's important.
