The Kickstarter United virtual rally is happening TODAY! Show up if you can! Here’s the RSVP link! https://bit.ly/ksru-rally
Kickstarter United is fighting for a new union contract. Management is proposing unilateral power to change our working conditions and is seeking to circumvent our union's collective bargaining authority. We’re holding a rally to support our fight for a fair contract, and we invite you to join us. Some of our top demands include: - A company wide minimum salary - Protections from AI and contractors replacing our roles - Solidifying the the 4 day work week we’ve been working under for more than 3 years If you believe in organized labor in this moment, we invite you to join our rally and lend your support. This rally will take place at 5pm ET/2pm PT Friday, September 5th.
The workers at Kickstarter United, one of the tech industry’s first unions, are in a tough contract fight, and they’re holding a virtual rally TOMORROW. Here’s the RSVP link: https://bit.ly/ksru-rally
Show up if you can! If they win a strong contract with AI protections and a 32-hour work week, that only helps the rest of us 💖

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:
