A double read, what an honour! Hasn't it been a hopefully few weeks ππͺ
I'm getting so much hope from the discussions of more collective action and workers standing up to this government, time to dust off the brilliant @AlicePMartin and @anniequick 's book and give it another read!

Activists in India are in profound peril. Farmers. Labour organizers. Climate strikers. Modi's Hindu nationalism has merged with the fearsome power of Silicon Valley to spread hate, on the one hand, and invade privacy on the other. My new investigation:

General strike underway in Myanmar, largely catalyzed by unionized young women factory workers (largely garment workers). Friday, as much of the country awaited calls to protest from the NLD, the unions staged protests inside each factory to help unleash a movement. THREAD:

When you read a review of a book you wrote yourself, you don't normally expect to learn new stuff, but this application of our argument to the arts sectors in the US is super interesting. Thanks @Lefebvre_Sam @hyperallergic
Delighted to see "Unions Renewed" by @anniequick and @AlicePMartin reviewed in @hyperallergic! (Review by @Lefebvre_Sam) https://t.co/DAOaVUvdxV
