\u201cThere is a huge line for this @AOC \u2066@Indiawaltonbflo\u2069 event at Town Ballroom. The line is down the street and around the corner.\u201d— Ryan Whalen (@Ryan Whalen) 1635001629
"When people say universal child care's not possible, guaranteed healthcare is not possible... They say post-industrial cities cannot do that anymore, they don't want to do that anymore... Buffalo is taking that excuse away."
\u201cExcited to accompany \u2066@AOC\u2069 to the \u2066@CWAUnion\u2069 picket line at Mercy Hospital.\n\nAs she says, if management can\u2019t guarantee safe staffing ratios because there\u2019s a \u201cshortage\u201d of Registered Nurses and healthcare workers, then supply-and-demand dictates:\n\nPay better wages!\u201d— Wanderlust (@Wanderlust) 1635016442
"This is corruption at its finest," said Walton on social media. "Federal money meant to serve our community has gone to line the mayor's pockets. We cannot afford another four years of corruption at City Hall."
To the crowd at the early voting rally, Walton said, "When we organize, we win."
The world is a pretty dark place right now. Economic inequality off the charts. The climate emergency. Supreme Court corruption in the U.S. and corporate capture worldwide. Democracy in many nations coming apart at the seams. Fascism threatens. It’s enough to make you wish for some powerful being to come along and save us. But the truth is this: no heroes are coming to save us. The only path to real and progressive change is when well-informed, well-intentioned people—fed up with being kicked around by the rich, the powerful, and the wicked—get organized and fight for the better world we all deserve. That’s why we created Common Dreams. We cover the issues that corporate media never will and lift up voices others would rather keep silent. But this people-powered media model can only survive with the support of readers like you. Can you join with us and donate right now to Common Dreams’ Mid-Year Campaign? |
