My first journal article is out in the Journal of African American History’s Special Issue on The Black 1980s. The editors did a great job putting together an issue that will be useful to the current movement for Black freedom and self-determination. Check it out!❤️🖤💚

Yes. But also - we can bargain with management in “meet and confer” sessions. - bosses can sign MOUs - we can talk about unions on our job as long as it doesn’t hinder work - we can sign union cards & petitions - 13th amendment bars indentured servitude so we can withhold labor

On Monday, our brother, comrade, and long-time chairperson, Saladin Muhammad joined the ancestors. Saladin’s unmatched organizing skills led to the formation of the @BlackWorkers, @UE150Union, and the @SWA_solidarity, just to recognize a few of his impactful accomplishments.

Rest in Peace and Power, Saladin He was an anti-racist fighter for over 50 years. He was arguably one of the most influential behind-the-scenes workers' rights organizer in NC for the last three decades, but wasn't on social media and has no wikipedia page #DigitalInequality

Racists covered up Tulsa & now they are trying to cover up an insurrection. Cover up rather than pulling off the covers is how America has responded to racism far too often.
