Dolores Huerta Speaks https://medium.com/@dolores_huerta/march-18-2026-e74c20430555 “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for.

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) A "year in review" summary, as has been traditional in the January issue of Change Links annually, would recapitulate the horrors of the first year of Trump II, with which we are all too achingly familiar.

Trump 2.0 has been a bonanza of unabashed scamming and self-dealing by the country’s wealthy elite. The admin has sent a clear signal to profiteers: now’s your chance to get in on the action. For decades, the Right has drooled at the thought of privatizing the US Postal Service (USPS). Now it’s working [...]
by Andrew Bates [Excerpts] When Republicans talk about impeaching judges, they are giving us an opportunity to show that corruption has a tangible, economic price — and it’s everyday people who pay it. When Trump raises the impeachment of judges, there’s another case that Democrats should steer the discussion toward.

On one side, we have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who have stood shoulder to shoulder with the working class. On the other side, we have Trump and Vance, two lapdogs for the billionaire class who only serve themselves. So, for us in the labor movement, it’s real simple. Kamala Harris [...]
by Andrea Bauer, Freedom Socialist Party/Radical Women I was assigned to travel to Milwaukee in mid-July wearing two hats.
