[WSMDiscuss] Sharing stories of struggle: social movements in and beyond the COVID-19 crisis

[Jeremy Brecher]

Dear Lawrence,

I've always wanted to be part of Interface and maybe this is my be chance.

Please take a look at these two pieces from my blog and see if you can use
something from them.

https://www.labor4sustainability.org/strike/strike-for-your-life/

https://www.labor4sustainability.org/strike/in-coronavirus-fight-workers-are-forging-an-emergency-green-new-deal/


In any case, best of luck with this project and with Interface.

with appreciation,

Jeremy Brecher
