        I work about 80 hours a week. And I'm married with 5 young kids. And I just finished grad school this week. This notion that those of us fighting against injustice in America are lazy is preposterous. Almost every activist I know works around the clock.

        Let's pull back the layers of that "get a job" onion. It's code for "go to work for the man". It's code for "submit to corporate exploitation". It's code for "work for minimum wage or less". Please help peel the layers of this onion with some of your own.

        Many conservative pundits promote the myth that SJW are free loaders as a way of dismissing the righteousness of the cause. Be 💪
