By Matt Alley — Blue Collar writer: As someone deeply committed to labor rights, civil rights, and democracy itself, I know we’re at a critical moment. The attacks on unions, voting rights, and the very foundations of democracy aren’t slowing down—they’re escalating. The 50501 Movement is a powerful, grassroots effort fighting back, and we need bodies in the streets to make our voices heard.
