"Francisco" sent this from where he was harvesting celery near Bakersfield CA. It was 42°, damp and cold when he began working at 7am. Walking through the celery and bending over to harvest it made his clothes damp and cold. He worked an 8 hour day earning CA min wage. #WeFeedYou

30 second video clip of dozens of people at a rally to support the United Academics of UNM union. They are holding signs that say union strong, union busting is disgusting, and give us a fair contract. There is a person in the background on a bullhorn leading them in chants, including when i say union, you say power, our union united will never be divided, and if we don't get it shut it down.

Very few queer people took time out of their party weekend to join the protest, but local Fight for 15 members, mostly middle-aged women speaking in Spanish, gave speech after speech that moved me to tears. None of them had met their co-worker across the country; a few said they’d never met a trans person before that day. But they knew or had personally known the feeling of a leering, smug manager using his position to humiliate them in intensely personal, sometimes sexual ways. They shared their own stories about fighting a boss for their bodily dignity, connecting them to their disgust at the treatment their far-away comrade had endured. They knew whose side they were on, and in turn, I learned there were more people on my side than I’d ever imagined.
