There's been a good joke over the last few years that we're in the “Cool zone.” Where it's cool to read about in the history books, but kind of a horror to live in. A horrific and magical time in which anything seems possible, for good or ill.
In times like this it is easy to feel hopeless, to feel powerless, to feel alone. And when we are alone, all too often we are powerless, and things can end up hopeless.United though, there is power. United, there is hope. United, this horrific and magical times can be a moment in which we start building a more just and merciful world. For ourselves, for everyone.
If you don't know where to start, start at the IWW.If you think you are alone, you won't be at the IWW.
In times that feel hopeless, hope and effort is a defiant middle finger to the system and the universe.
An injury to one is an injury to all.
A more merciful world can only be built by the workers.
