The reaper, the sower, and the union

As Christians, we are called to model our work upon the life of Jesus who challenged unjust power structures and radically centered people. He calls us to a deeper unity in him, and that unity is present in the working people and communities that support them. The people on the picket line are our siblings in Christ, fellow pilgrims on the journey to justice and making straight the way of the Lord. When we show up in solidarity, we are bringing a living, breathing community of believers into this labor moment that will have generational effects. This “Striketober,” and this dynamic year of worker power, is defined by the people the movement is organizing for: the worker who is struggling now, and for future generations of working people who will take on these same jobs after current members clock out for the last time. As they say on the picket line, “One day longer! One day stronger!”
