We\u2019re honored that The Forge: Organizing Strategy and Practice<\/em> published our op-ed Sick and Unsafe: Trump attacks on worker rights is an attack on public health<\/a>. The Forge exists \u201cto elevate the strategy and practice of organizing….and by building connection and community among organizers and between sectors of the progressive movement.\u201d It\u2019s exactly the kind of platform needed to tackle today\u2019s urgent challenges.<\/p>\n

Our piece (first published August 2025) explores the growing imbalance of power between employers and workers. “This power shift hasn\u2019t just changed paychecks\u2014it has fundamentally altered the physical and mental health landscape for millions of Americans” (including chronic stress that harms mental health, cardiovascular health, immune function, increasing the likelihood of chronic diseases, from hypertension to obesity and diabetes).<\/p>\n

We also detail how this imbalance is currently being supercharged by the Trump administration\u2019s aggressive rollback of worker rights and its ongoing attacks against public employees and the agencies that protect workers (OSHA, NIOSH).<\/p>\n

The result isn\u2019t just unfair workplaces: it\u2019s worsening mental and physical health crises for millions of working people.<\/p>\n

Grateful to The Forge for amplifying this message and helping connect organizers across movements who are fighting for a future where all workers can thrive. Read the op-ed here: https:\/\/bit.ly\/4fOFvSs<\/a><\/p>\n
