Memorial Day
This Memorial Day weekend, we remember all those we’ve lost in the performance of their military duty. This year, we also remember those we’ve lost to COVID-19, police brutality and gun violence.
We all deserve rest and relaxation after everything we’ve collectively been through, but we must remember on Tuesday the fight begins again for a living wage for all working people and for passage of the PRO Act, which would make it easier for everyone to join together in a union.
