The campaigns are hard-fought, but unions in the US are a shadow of their former selves – membership stands at a 100-year low, as corporate power has grown to unprecedented heights. The hospitality workers of Unite Here demonstrate creativity and determination in their struggle for justice on the job, but will that be enough?

Being an undocumented student is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with. As soon as I got my residency, I made it a mission to use my story to empower other students like me while educating others about the hardships undocumented students face as they try to continue their education.
