THREAD: 55 yrs ago 2day, #MLK was murdered in Memphis standing w sanitation workers in their strike 4 better working conditions. He said of the strike, “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be more tragic than to stop.” We still have! (1/4) 
2/4 Unions help workers come together to bargain with bosses over safety, health benes, pay. Unions also co-founded & support civil rights coalition @civilrightsorg . The nations oldest & largest. bit.ly/3GDjOof
3/4 Unions are under attack in FL & other states BECAUSE union members fight to support families, ensure kids can learn Black history & for #votingrights. Unions mean people who work hard can have more of a say, including civil rights. bit.ly/40ZKOG8
4/4 The night before his murder #MLK said he’d been to the Mountaintop but might not get to the promised land with us. We still climb that Mountain together, giving ourselves to this struggle for the right to live, to learn, to love, to vote, voice our demands. For #democracy.
