Decenas de millones de trabajadores quieren un sindicato.

Back then, the physical memory of being on the streets during the George Floyd rebellion loomed much larger than the phantasm of Nancy Pelosi kneeling in kente cloth with a promise of police reform. Hundreds of pages of policy recommendations from the Biden-Sanders unity task forces had made their way into the Democratic Party platform. Trump was out the door—almost.
