‘The Personal Is Political’: Sustaining Communities Of Resistance (Reader Response)
Comrade Chompsky, Shadowproof Reader: A couple of months ago I placed an ad in Craigslist, seeking shared housing. In itself, this is unremarkable; what makes this one different, is the character of the ad. Entitled “Lifelong Activist Seeks Permanent Share,” it has produced some interesting responses — and frames some of the issues activists must face.

Last Week, Wal-Mart announced plans to reopen the stores in late October or early November, but former workers will be forced to reapply.

Walmart Increased Wages Only To Later Cut Hours
Late last year, in response to a series of strikes by workers and protests by activists, Walmart agreed to raise wages so that many of the company’s workers received at least a meager $9 an hour in 2015.
