\u201cThere is a huge line for this @AOC \u2066@Indiawaltonbflo\u2069 event at Town Ballroom. The line is down the street and around the corner.\u201d— Ryan Whalen (@Ryan Whalen) 1635001629
"When people say universal child care's not possible, guaranteed healthcare is not possible... They say post-industrial cities cannot do that anymore, they don't want to do that anymore... Buffalo is taking that excuse away."
\u201cExcited to accompany \u2066@AOC\u2069 to the \u2066@CWAUnion\u2069 picket line at Mercy Hospital.\n\nAs she says, if management can\u2019t guarantee safe staffing ratios because there\u2019s a \u201cshortage\u201d of Registered Nurses and healthcare workers, then supply-and-demand dictates:\n\nPay better wages!\u201d— Wanderlust (@Wanderlust) 1635016442
"This is corruption at its finest," said Walton on social media. "Federal money meant to serve our community has gone to line the mayor's pockets. We cannot afford another four years of corruption at City Hall."
To the crowd at the early voting rally, Walton said, "When we organize, we win."
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
