    You don’t “accept” Super PAC money.

        Not OP, but I read it as “accepting” that kind of money equals getting bought with it and by the people who put the money in the PAC.

          I think OP means you can’t stop a PAC from smearing your opponent, and you can’t stop them from promoting your exact platform.

          It’s all a big slushy mess, on purpose, intentionally making this question extremely nuanced

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
