It's been a little while since I used this page. Last time I did it was in late 2023 after a painful relocation from Vegas back to Indianapolis and then having my car stolen. Kia challenge victim. The little that was raised was used for food, Chipotle, I remember to this day, a shirt for work and a wheel lock bar, aka the club. For those who contributed during that time, when my mental health was taking a beating, you provided much needed moments of relief. Thank you.
Now, in June 2026, with less than three weeks to my birthday I am in Seattle, less than a year still catching with the cost of relocating, due to go on my first strike, while advocating for a better raise, better work conditions and better contract terms overall we are due to receive only a fraction of our regular wage. During this time, I sincerely hope I was able to explain in the video we are going to need a little help, help that will most definitely be shared with my other five teammates for whom a prolonged strike might prove challenging.
More updates are to follow as I'm less than 8 hours away from the picket line and I still haven't gone to sleep. My mind is racing and my anxiety is building up. But I have incredible co-workers and I know being beside them will make everything a little bit easier. This is not just about us but also all worker centric movements across the country and globe. We can do this.
