Why Third Parties Are NECESSARY to Build Worker Power (w/ Kshama Sawant) (youtu.be)

You don't have to be a "Socialist" to support $20 min. wage & #Amazon tax. *Third parties are necessary.* If it wasn't for #HueyLong and others, there would be no Second #NewDeal (1935-1938). #VoteBlue #KshamaSawant #NewYork #Wisconsin #Michigan #Florida #Louisiana youtu.be/GnXXyPL9eFU?...

On this day in 1935, Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act after the Great Depression had exposed how vulnerable millions of Americans were to unemployment and poverty in old age.

Our Gen Z advocate Lucas Kaplan says Social Security is there for YOU, your parents, & your grandparents! Props to FDR & the first female cabinet secretary, Frances Perkins, for creating it 91 years ago today! #SocialSecurity #FrancesPerkins #FDR #FranklinDRoosevelt #NewDeal #GenZ @aarp.org

Happy 91st birthday to Social Security! Nine decades of providing basic financial security to American seniors! (And later, to survivors, spouses, and people with disabilities.) Thank you, FDR.
