The orcas pod is taking action at London Fashion Week!
It’s all of us vs.the fashion billionaires.
While workers starve, the top 10 fast fashion brands collectively raked in 13.9 billion dollars in profits in 2024, enough to triple the annual wages of 4 million Bangladeshi garment workers.
Want to slow fashion down? Tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages. Abolish billionaires.
Sanders, Scott, Hayes, and Casar have filed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $17/hour by 2030.
Right now, workers are trapped in poverty wages — this bill would lift pay nationwide and give workers the power they deserve. But by 2030, a $17 minimum wage will seem paltry, especially considering what appears to be an impending recession.
No one should work full time and still live in poverty.
Alexander Duff, missionary of the Church of Scotland, discusses setting up a new mission. They’re choosing at site that would help “the suppression of the slave trade.”
He’s not setting up a fort or a fence. A station for the preaching the gospel. And he hopes it would suppress slavery. Yet I keep hearing people say that missionaries were all about killing.
Would the preachers’ books you buy suppress slavers or empower them?
