Instead of fighting for us, our leaders make preemptive cuts, and voluntary concessions in the face of threats from the Far Right and their rich and powerful allies. In this context, it is public workers and the communities they serve who must defend the public good. Our most powerful tool to do so is our right to strike. Without it, we public servants can't ensure we have the working conditions we need to do right by those we serve. Our working conditions are the public's living conditions. We are tired of making do with less and less. We demand the right to strike in order to ensure a quality of life for all. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/support-maryland-public-workers-right-to-strike
