"These portraits were made on the sidewalk outside the Wisconsin state capital building in Madison. During the protests, the unofficial theme, expressed in words, drum beats and car horns, has been, "This is what Democracy looks like!" This is what Democracy looked like to me, in the form of faces, signs, buttons, and hard hats." Kevin J. Miyazaki

The Key to Rebuilding Workers' Power: Unrig the Rules

"The list of rules that need changing is long, but this is where a successful effort to rebuild the middle class must focus its efforts. As long as the economy is rigged to redistribute income upward, tax and transfer policies designed to help the middle class and the poor will inevitably fail. The right knows this; if progressives can't learn this basic fact, then we are spinning our wheels no matter how angry and organized we get.
