But there is resistance. Listen to Karma Chávez’s Resistant Communiqués episode: bit.ly/rc2026karmac...

Great news for the American people 💯🎯

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

13 June 1992: Burnsall strike

On this day, 13 June 1992, around 20 mostly South Asian women workers at a metal finishing plant in Burnsall, Smethwick, walked out on strike. They were demanding union recognition, equal pay and basic health and safety. The employer retaliated by sacking all of them. There were several disagreements between the union, GMB, and the strikers about the form and nature of the strike action, with the strikers increasingly resisting the union’s attempts to take control of the strike action. Though the women had had strong community support, the strike was eventually called off after a year by union officials, who decided it was unwinnable.
