A handful of courageous individuals have filed a historic lawsuit against a known brand in the USA, alleging human trafficking and forced labor as they caught tuna sold by seafood brand Bumble Bee.
Allegations include accounts of violence, emotional abuse, untreated injuries, debt bondage, excessive work, lack of payment, and financial threats against family members of workers. Also accounts of the fishers coming together to protect each other.

A final question about disability representation and exclusion in #LGBTQ+ spaces. It's been a problem for decades, because the people with the money don't listen.
Final summing up by new PHM director Clare Barlow. It's the museum's first major exhibition since she took over and she's thrilled it's about solidarity, class and queerness.

Same with the Gender Recognition Act. Same with serving in the UK military. Happened under Labour because the Government lost cases in ECHR.
No Government in the UK has been on our side without the pressure of the courts and the public. If we want to stop the UK backsliding on #LGBT+ rights, and maybe even make some forward progress, we need to build that support. We need to create the bandwagons that political parties can jump on.

A lot of ahistorical praise for Labour here. Civil Partnerships didn't happen because the UK finally got a Labour Government in 1997. It happened many years after, when that Government fought and lost a case in the European Court of Human Rights.
Having previously rejected a Lib Dem private member's bill for French style civil unions, Labour introduced the bare minimum "separate and kind of equal" civil partnerships required to comply with the court judgement.
It's important that we get this history right.

Interesting discussion about the difference between #Solidarity and charity. LGSM were oppressed queers raising money for oppressed miners, but they integrated into each other's lives and built friendships which have lasted for decades.
And when the miners' strikes ended, the miners continue to support queer people at the TUC and Labour conferences, using the NUM bloc vote to support #LGBT rights, which is why Labour started supporting these issues, some 5 years after the Liberals.
Continued thread
Hearing about skint LGSM activists entertaining striking miners in London, including Richard Coles playing piano at the then-new London Gay & Lesbian Centre for a sing along; a gay pub put on a vegetarian buffet but the miners got fish and chips because they thought it'd just be lettuce leaves!
Continued thread
Mike and Jonathan are talking about conditions for gay men in London in the 80s and the founding of LGSM. #SolidarityForever
At the #PeoplesHistoryMuseum in #Manchester for "Solidarity Forever: 40 Years of Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners"
Hey Fediverse folks, I am about to start my work week, so I am reminding myself of these facts.
Our value is independent of our productivity.
Our identity transcends what we do to sustain ourselves financially.
Rest is a right, not a reward.
All we have is each other, so let’s show up for each other when we can.
Maybe you need these reminders today, so I posted them here.

Just visited my local library in South Auckland.
They have pride flags and displays out. 
Made a point of walking to the counter and thanking them for their work of always supporting diversity, and being an inclusive space for all of us.
I'm sure they hear enough complaints from the bigot crowd.
We need to make it so they know their community supports and backs them.
The 1% that is ACTUALLY causing problems in this country are the wealthy elite.
NOT trans people.

When you see news about the port workers strike today, pay attention to the framing.
Shopping / supply chains / profit are not more important than the people’s lives who are doing the labor to keep the system running.
None of us are free until all of us are free.
#solidarity #solidarityforever the union keeps us strong 
Immigrants and refugees welcome!
The IWW stands in solidarity with all immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. We oppose the racist, white-supremacist, classist, anti-immigrant, and xenophobic rhetoric, actions and attacks by the capitalist class, politicians, the far-right, or anyone else for that matter.
The IWW has a long and proud history of being comprised of immigrants and organizing immigrant workers, and we will continue to do so. We must continue to build solidarity among the working class not only in our jobs and industries but also in our communities and neighborhoods.
As our motto states, an injury to one is an injury to all.
Solidarity Forever!
