Quotes by Erik Loomis (?)

“We live in what I call the New Gilded Age. Today, we are recreating the terrible income inequality and economic divides that dominated the late nineteenth century and created the violent responses that included the Haymarket bombing and the assassination of President William McKinley. Once again, we have a society where our politicians engage in open corruption, where unregulated corporate capitalism leads to boom-and-bust economies that devastate working people, where the Supreme Court limits legislation and regulations meant to create a more equal society, and where unions are barely tolerated. Life has become more unpleasant and difficult for most Americans in our lifetimes.1”
― Erik Loomis, A History of America in Ten Strikes

“Grassroots worker power develops when workers identify any issue that outrages them. That could include oppressing other workers to keep the factories lily-white.”

“Not all of us are natural organizers, but Flynn’s example reminds us that everyone has their own gifts to contribute to the struggle for justice. You don’t have to be good at everything. You just need to use your strengths to make the world a better place.8”
