In the months and years to come, we will have huge victories for working people if we continue to educate our friends and family, agitate those that seek to tear away what we have, and organize in solidarity, for the future of us all.

Rep. Dana Young’s Ties to Mosaic Fertilizer Spell Disaster for Florida’s Water
