Racism and police violence with no justice for people like Breonna Taylor; 200,000 COVID-19 deaths and still no stimulus check; wildfires ravaging the west coast. This system is killing us.

Working people, especially black people, are facing evictions, unemployment, climate change, a health crisis, and racist violence from the police and right-wing. We need the Climate Strike and Labor movements to step up and support Black Lives Matter and the struggle against the capitalist system as a whole.

What can we do to remedy them?

Corporations increasingly influence — if not control — more and more aspects of our lives, regardless of who’s elected or what scandals are exposed. That’s because corporations not only have economic power, but political power — specifically constitutional “rights” — lots of them!
