Current Events 20 May, 2022

The FWAM staff sits down to discuss Current Events through a leftist lens and offer solutions when plausible. This week, we’re giving an update from Mary Gundel of the #PutInATicket movement and discussing the fight to unionize Dollar General, as well as discussing local, national, and international news from the past two weeks! We’re discussing the Starbucks and Amazon unionization drives, as well as the fallout of the Roe V Wade draft leak. There’s a whole lot more in store for ya tonight, make sure to join us in the Facebook or YouTube comments to continue the discussion! Mary (and the #PutInATicket Movement) are organizing a rally at the Dollar General Shareholder’s Meeting in Tennessee (Peay Park: 200 Memorial Drive, Goodlettsville, TN) on 25 May lasting all day starting at 7:30 AM local time! All are invited! Tell your friends, organize carpools, and show your solidarity, even if it’s just supporting on social media! There will be plenty of speakers and things going on throughout the day! (Of course, we’ll have some coverage here after the fact) Follow Mary on social media!
