I know there’s a general strike starting Monday in protest of Roe v. Wade. I want to join it, I really do, but I’m a shift manager for a non-union grocer, a subdivision of Kroger in the Midwest. I can’t afford to lose my job, my insurance, and my prospects. I’m living paycheck to paycheck as it is, I’m about to get married, and I’m terrified that if I stand up for what I know is right, I’ll lose all my income.
