New #workersinquiry launching soon—Class Composition in the Grocery Sector!

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Ever so appreciate when something written years ago is rediscoverd by new comrades. Published in Perspectives by @anarchist-studies.bsky.social "To Care is to Struggle" appeared in print in 2012. Some of it feels dated, other points are very much alive: anarchiststudies.org/to-care-is-t...

I helped found @the-work-and-us.bsky.social in 2021. After a little hiatus, we are officially relaunching the project and are expanding our work to include an Incarcerated Research Fellowship. Because we believe that people inside are experts of their own experiences.

"By excavating the urban struggles of 1970s Italy with a spatialized understanding of Operaismo’s signature theoretical contribution––class composition––the book provides both an important contribution to radical urban history and a window into how current urban struggles might be theorized." ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥
