A lot of people don't think teaching history is important, but witnessing an entire generation of people who aren't aware of historic facts and then form an opinion based on nothing more than propaganda and uninformed mouthpieces, makes you realize how truly necessary it is.

Last Saturday, Charlottesville’s Black history museum melted down the statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee. The statue had been a rallying point for fascists, including the "Unite the Right" rally in 2017 during which one of them murdered Heather Heyer and grievously injured many others.
For years, anti-racists had fruitlessly requested the removal of Confederate statues around the country. Far-right politicians responded with laws making it illegal to remove them. Only after anarchists and other abolitionists used illegal direct action to pull down statues—starting in Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina and spreading all around the United States—were liberal politicians forced to remove some of the statues that remained.

The struggle against white supremacy continues. Direct action plays an essential role.

TIL: There are dozens of long term studies regarding the effects of a father's involvement in childhood. The more time a father spends with their son greater reduces their stress, chance of drug/tobacco use, dangerous behaviors, increases education, and affects future income over 37 years.

First there were the Pilgrims, then there was the Civil War. After MLK ended segregation, racism disappeared from the country. If the Standard American History Myth that we've all been taught is incorrect - When was the last slave freed in America?

Good Idea: unionize your workplace or join an existing union.
1. Unity is strength
Unions enable workers to come together as a powerful, collective voice to communicate with management about their working terms and conditions – and to push for safe, fair and decent work.
2. Better terms and conditions
Workers who join a trade union are more likely to have better terms and conditions than those who do not, because trade unions negotiate for their members through collective bargaining agreements and protect them from bad management practices.
3. More holiday
Unions won the right for workers to have paid holidays. The average trade union member in the UK gets over 25% more annual leave a year than a non-unionised worker.
4. Higher wages
You earn more in a unionised workplace. For example, trade union members in the UK earn on average 10% more than non-unionised members. This is the power of collective bargaining.
5. Equal opportunities, and protection against discrimination
Unions fight for equal opportunities in the workplace. Trade unions have fought for laws that give rights to workers: the minimum wage, maximum working time, paid holidays, equal pay for work of equal value as well as anti-discrimination laws.
6. Better parental leave
Unions are responsible for securing and improving maternity, paternal and carer leave for millions of workers.
7. Security and stability
Trade union members are more likely to stay in their jobs for longer, on average five years more than non-unionised workers
8. Health and safety
Unionised workplaces are safer workplaces
9. Legal support
If you have a problem at work, unions can offer legal services and advice
10. Having someone in your corner
As a union member you are part of something bigger – and have the support of the union when you need it.
Trade unions are part of an international movement. Global worker solidarity is crucial to ending the worst abuses and injustice working people face, and to push back against poverty, climate breakdown and inequality. War on Want regularly asks our affiliates from the UK trade union movement to stand in solidarity with other workers across the world in their own struggles to protect their livelihoods and right to organise.
