Good Idea: Understand where people get their information from.
The sources are changing with increasing speed as one medium is replaced by the next.
The ministry is definitely a social news stream due to the nature of telegram.
If you follow back, you can see how this channel developed. Lots if unseen gems to discover in the old days.
Until today, it was a one man show. But we now got help from 2 awesome people living in Beirut and Peru.
Again, the ministry is a community effort. In case you have a good idea or found one online, feel free to submit it in the comments, the @mogimeta community or via the @Good_Idea_SubmissionBot

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.

Good idea: tax wealth not income.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/22/eu-funded-report-calls-for-wealth-of-super-rich-to-be-taxed-not-income
🤖💬The EU Tax Observatory has reported that the world's wealthiest 3,000 individuals, including billionaires, have been using shell companies to exploit tax loopholes, effectively avoiding income taxes. They propose a 2% annual wealth tax on these super-rich individuals, which could generate £250 billion annually. This proposal aims to address the unfair disparity between the minimal taxes paid by billionaires compared to ordinary citizens.

A few days before a neo-Nazi demonstration in Athens, Greece that is supposed to bring in fascists from around Europe, anti-fascists marched to the planned location of the demonstration and destroyed a monument on Heraklion Avenue erected by the fascist political party Golden Dawn.
From Charlottesville to Athens, fascism must be stopped, not memorialized.
