Excerpt:

“Seeing the amount of money, the managers, everybody that they’re sending in, it really kind of shows that you can make change at the store,” concluded Valencia. “You can make change within the company because the fact that you’re unionizing it and you’ve got this kind of a response is actually a good thing. It means that you really are out there changing things, and I believe that if we can do it, and hopefully we do win, then everybody else can too.”

Take Action

You can make a difference.

It's okay to start small.

Action is the antidote to fear and despair.

Even doing small things - learning more about how we can strengthen our democracy, sharing what you know with others, making a phone call - can make a difference.

Right now is a great time to take action.
