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.

Every single gen z person I met, I encourage them to push for unions. I'm so happy they're not putting up with this shit.
I believe that as millennials, we have a duty to help radicalize the youth. Just a bit.
Millennials can have a little radicalization of the youth, as a treat.
I mean, I've moved further left the older I've gotten, so I'm on board with encouraging the next generations to recognize exploitative systems and to stand up for themselves. I wish a lot of us had figured that out sooner instead of so many buying into the narrative we were fed about college being practically mandatory with the promise of good things at the end of the rainbow and then being told we're entitled when we point out the massive rug pull that shit was.
We will make them radical.
