On this day, 2 January 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) union was conceived in the US at the Conference of Industrial Unionists in Chicago. Formally constituted at a subsequent conference in June, the IWW was a new kind of revolutionary, multi-racial union, it aimed to unite all workers into One Big Union, form the body of a new society, run by the working class, in the shell of the old. Facing savage repression from employers many members were lynched, killed and imprisoned. But they organised large swathes of previously unorganised workers and won many strikes. It still exists today in several countries, and often acts as a militant minority union.

BANDAIDS, TAMPONS, PADS, DIAPERS, OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION [SUCH AS PEPTO BISMO, AND ACETAMINOPHEN]
SHOULD ALL BE ACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS AS WELL.
Eye exams should be done at public schools, and all children with vision problems should be provided with new glasses and a new exam at least once a year or as needed if more than 1 time a year.
Y'all’s schools didn’t give you Band-Aids or Tylenol for free??? I guess I really did have it better than most…
How sad is it that many of us are still fighting for scraps, as those with the scraps already know … it isn’t enough?
