Billionaire oligarchs sit back and watch us struggle, hoping that we turn against each other.
They divide us with fear while they hoard wealth and power.

The Missouri Supreme Court handed down a HUGE victory for workers today!
As @standup_kc leader Terrence Wise said:
ALT Workers win at court! Today, the Missouri Supreme Court rejected attacks from greedy corporations on Proposition A. Workers will start earning paid sick days on May 1! “The ruling today affirms the will of over 57% of Missouri voters who approved Proposition A in November. Workers like me have spent over a decade fighting across race and place to strengthen our rights, and the Supreme Court decision today proves that when we fight, we win.” Terrence Wise Stand Up KC and Missouri Workers Center Leader

Instead of new tax giveaways for corporate CEOs and other ultra-wealthy Americans, we need tax reform that lifts up ordinary families and small businesses.

@powerswitchact, @IPS_DC, and @athenaforall did a deep dive to expose how Amazon gets rich by exploiting tax loopholes — at the expense of workers like Wendy in Missouri and across the country.

“My husband and I wait in line for hours at the food pantry every Monday while @amazon executives make millions off our labor. They pay nearly nothing in taxes, diverting our public resources for their private gain."

Since 2018, Jeff Bezos's Amazon shares gained over 2,000% in value. Meanwhile, the typical Amazon worker's wages grew by just 3.3%, and average rent prices went up 9.2%.
