I have not posted anything since the election. I took a brief break from social media. It's nice to unplug occasionally and focus on family. I have launched the Working Class Heroes Fund that is designed to help regular working people run for office in their states and districts to get a seat at the table. Our Congress needs to be a reflection of its people. Currently it is not.
It is my hope that the incoming administration will be a voice for the working class, but until the day comes where the government passes the PRO Act and adds protections for our paychecks we will continue to stand up and fight corporate greed. We are seeing it play out time and time again where workers are fed up with the record profits of these huge multinational corporations while trying to take from the very same workers that made those profits possible.
Milkbone, a brand we all know and our dogs love, is owned by Smuckers that boasted $8 billion in sales. The brave BCTGM workers have shut down the factory and are in a fight for their livelihoods. They are on the picket line in the middle of a tough Buffalo winter. I proudly stand with them and support their efforts in their fight to preserve their wages and benefits at a time where inflation affects the working person exponentially more than the CEO’s and board members who make the decisions to take from their employees. I’m including a link to donate to the workers who need our help to put food on their tables while they stand up to corporate greed: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-milkbone-workers-on-strike
Thank you.
