I remember back when these Alabama @MineWorkers and their families were fundraising for back-to-school supplies the *first* time; a year later, the miners are still on strike, but their kids still need school stuff. Let’s help their parents keep holding the line ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The UMWA members have now spent 462 days on strike.Why? The executives greed & desire to bust the union at Warrior Met. The membership is still holding the line if you would like to aid the families with back-to-school supplies, here is the link to donate: target.com/gift-registry/gif…

The trash tree, the splatters underneath like bird shit.
Like paint, like ink. The stained skin, dyed hand, pen.
Hand, thumb and forefinger, stub and nub of the matter...

Just over a year after the start of the Warrior Met Coal strike – the longest in Alabama history – @SenSherrodBrown and @KenBurns reflect on a scene from THE ROOSEVELTS: a pivotal strike from 1902 by the same union.

Just wanted to share Sister Pearlie's message on the strike with all of you. She is a retired #UMWA miner from #3 mine. She is an inspiration to all of us.

Bessemer, Alabama, sitting on the outskirts of Birmingham and with a population of 26,500 — about 75% African American — has become a central focus for the entire class struggle.
