Ellen Bravo, Antonia Juhasz & Tracie Washington, and Tax Day
April 19, 2011"What's at stake is whether assaults on working people will prevail," says Ellen Bravo, who fought with the Family Values @ Work Consortium to get paid sick leave for Milwaukee's workers only to see it banned in the state legislature--and the ban broadened to include the entire state. Meanwhile, to heighten the already tense situation in that state, Sarah Palin was there this weekend to speak to a Tea Party crowd.The F Word: Demonizing Taxes, Heightening Inequality
April 18, 2011Today is Tax Day in the US, and that's almost universally greeted with groans and complaints. That tax word's been so effectively demonized that it may be there's no coming back. Is it time for a new word?Courage Campaign: Equality Now!
