Val is actually an old friend of mine, very weird to see her pop up in the headlines because Elon Musk was tweeting at her personally for organizing #TeslaTakedown protests.
Among many cowards, turns out our own friends are standing strong, go Val & may more of us join her to create safety in numbers ✊🏼

"Something that I think those in power have forgotten is that things like the right to protest, strike provisions, human rights legislation, etc are the *compromise*.
By stripping those away, it's just as illegal to march from A to B as it is to drag them into the street and beat the shit out of them, and that's usually a damn sight more effective."
