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.

Approval allows for a voter to vote for multiple preferred candidates without the fear of swinging the election to the rival candidate.
Many state laws tie party ballot access to the popular vote received in the governor's election, senate election, or presidential election. Ballot access to ALL local elections state-wide and will cost a fortune to pay people to collect signatures to get on the ballot. So, if you don't run anyone in the senate, governor, or presidential election a party will lose all ballot access in that state. We should make it like in the UK or some US states where you can just pay a fee and get state ballot access.
