What an amazing video and song!! As a woman, its easy to forget how hard women before me fought for the freedom and rights I have today. We tend to take it for granted, refusing to participate in the rights that women before us were beaten and tormented to give to us (such as voting). Thank you so much for reminding me.
Powerful video, brought tears to my eyes. The collage of decades was a true picture of women's struggles. I just published the historical fiction, She Built Ships During WWII and was pleased to see one of the photo's that I put in my novel of the women riveting. We've come a long way baby but still have a ways to go!
I find it extremely hurtful that someone would malign my name by lying in such a heinous fashion. Please know this video is a culmination of the struggles faced by all women through the decades and I am so happy so many find it inspirational.
"You in the unions do not yet represent all of labor. But I hope some day you will, because I believe that it is through strength, through the fact that people who know what people need are working to make this country a better place for all people, that we will help the world to accept our leadership and understand that, under our form of government and through our way of life, we have something to offer them"
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." - Martin Luther King Jr.
I wanted to thank you again for this amazing video - I watch it frequently and its inspirational to many. "Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts." - Molly Ivins
