Happy October 1st!
ALT Digital illustration of a Black girl wearing a green sweater, riding a bike through the neighborhood. Her black poodle rides in a cart next to her with a basket of pumpkins hitched onto the back bike tire. There are leaves falling all around while two trees frame the image.

Yes. And we applaud the rejections when they come. Celebrate accomplishments, sure. But rejection is where the learning happens. And it happens much more often ๐๐

Dorothy Lee Bolden founded the National Domestic Workers Union in 1968, turning bus rides into organizing meetings. Her fight won domestic workers fairer wages, minimum wage protections, job training, and political power. This Labor Day, we honor her legacy.

On Labor Day, we remember A. Philip Randolph. In 1925, he founded the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first Black-led union securing better wages and working conditions for many Black workers. Later, he helped organize the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
