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.

Is my message here not a part of organising?
No. It's more marketing, and coms.
Which is the least useful of the bunch. There's already plenty of that on social media. Organizing is action in the real world, not online.
Or did you mean bringing friends over for home made pizza?
That might be. If your helping them learn to cook for themselves, and teach others.
But your phrasing didn't suggest the goal weas the pizza. It was just a choice you made for a gathering that was happening anyway.
I am doing things in the real world and encouraging others to do so too.
Sure, but that has nothing to do with the post about it here.
