Just wondering if anything good is happening somewhere. Maybe some local organizing wins? Would be nice to see something positive happening.

I know one of the big ones just Endorsed "uncommitted" in the primary.

And yeah, labor is doing better than it was a few years ago. Hard to share in that when trying to organize Starbucks near me fell apart.

You helped organize a union for Starbucks (or at least tried to)?

You have my respect, comrade.

That experience may have seemed pointless. I know the feeling of campaigning for a union push and failing. But I guarantee you learned more than think while doing it. You’re a better organizer than you were before. That’s good.
