Welcome to the Daily Bread
A new dispatch for the labor movement.
This moment in history presents us with world-historic challenges: right-wing control of Washington, attacks on government workers and their right to a union, threats to political speech, economic uncertainty, and an onslaught of anti-immigrant actions.
It also presents us with an opportunity. Workers across different regions and industries as well as ideologies and identities can beat back these threats. But it’s going to require strategic thinking and solidarity to meet the moment.
That’s what inspired the Daily Bread. It’s a newsletter for union members and allies across the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It will compile the clips you need to be reading as well as periodic analysis about points of leverage where labor can come together and take action.
A newsletter can’t build a new labor movement. But it might play a part in getting us all on the same page about what the conditions are, and how we can fight back. Write to m.cunninghamcook@gmail.com with clips you’d like included, ideas you’d like explored, or actions that other union members can take.
Solidarity,
The Daily Bread
