Twitter prepare thyself. @FlyingWithSara will be kicking ass at #dsacon2019 this afternoon and I will be live tweeting it.
In 1881, so-called washerwomen in Atlanta organized a strike for higher pay. There were no labor laws to protect them. No single employer with whom they could negotiate. They wanted $1 for every 12 pounds of laundry. They went door to door & went to church services.
Recruited 3,000 members in 3 weeks. They didn't back down in the face of arrest and massive fines. Most of the women were recently slaves, only recently working for pay.
The law wasn't on the side of these women, the economy wasn't. But they were smart, creative, and fearless. They inspired others to take up their cause because they were united first. *Sara just teared up telling this story.
Leading with love cannot be conflict-averse.
Hate-driven dictatorships are on the march, just like they were in the 1930s.
We can never dismiss someone's oppression as their problem. Some of the earliest wins for LGBTQ equality happened at the bargaining table. The Assoc of Flight Attendants won partner benefits before marriage equality.
Racism, sexism, ageism are the tactics of the boss.
In a time of crisis in the industry, people turned inward, wanted to talk about process and issues of little consequence. Bankruptcy, Wall Street, the White House - everything was stacked against the industry, but because they had the union, they fought back.
Power comes from the ground, not someone claiming to be our savior.
People think power is a limited resource, but once we use power, we build power.
The strike is the tactic. Solidarity is our power.
An injury to one IS an injury to all, and people are dying because greed is putting a cost on their lives.

The marchers in Puerto Rico: it was teachers, nursers, sanitation workers. And in case anyone hasn't said it to you lately, THAT WAS A GENERAL STRIKE.
The labor movement belongs to all working people. Women, people of color, young people: join unions and run unions. Unions are for everyone.
Change comes fast when the risk becomes too great for those in power. Power shifts to the people when we act in unity.
And she ended by leading us in shouts of "I got your back!"
