If rail workers do end up engaging in a wildcat or otherwise illegal strike, PLEASE remember that strikes are meant to be disruptive. If you see someone talking about the rail strike and how it's having such a huge impact, say things like "Yeah, it's crazy how much of our economy relies on them. That's why they deserve good health care."

Don't give in to anti-labour rhetoric. Combat false narratives. Solidarity Forever.

Man, I get it. People don't wanna bring politics here the same way the birdsite had. But it is easy to say that when decisions made in Washington DC affects us black and brown people everywhere else in the world just as much.

Ready for #covercrop seeding in the #avocado orchard, at least in those rows wide and sunny enough. I love the soil we're building here.
