A little humor for this Labor Day! Enjoy your day, and lest we forget, Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and their achievements, originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters.

In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, the average American laborer worked 12-hour days, seven days a week, in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks. Labor unions grew more prominent and vocal and began organizing strikes and rallies to protest poor conditions and compel employers to renegotiate hours and pay. In the wake of years of violent unrest—and in an attempt to repair ties with essential American workers—Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, Democratic President Grover Cleveland signed it into law.

What party supports labor unions and protections for today's worker today? Vote accordingly in November!

“Only women who have given birth should be allowed at Labor Day picnics,” he declared. “No baby, no hot dog.”

We agree!! Vote for Heidi!

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Representative Johnny Shaw, a dedicated public servant and a strong voice for West Tennessee. I’m grateful for his confidence in me and proud to have him standing with us as we fight for the people of the 8th District.

“The truth is that all our problems stem from the same sex-based myths. We may appear before you as white radicals or the middle-aged middle class or black soul sisters, but we are all sisters in fighting against these outdated myths.”

Rest In Power, Gloria. 💪

At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom.
