"Via in-store organizing and actions, Black Friday strikes, small group meetings, community outreach, national gatherings of workers, and online conversations with thousands of employees, Walmart workers built a new labor movement that compelled the retail giant to make changes, but not without setbacks. The film follows four Walmart employees as their movement grows worker-by-worker, store-by-store, and state-by-state, pushing for an historic win in 2015." "Their advocacy and mobilizing helped to forge a new model for building power for workers in the retail sector. Now more than ever, Walmart workers say they want a safe workplace, respect on the job and pay that reflects the truly essential nature of their jobs." "This film charts the birth of a national movement, powerfully revealing how the act of standing up and standing together not only transformed the characters in the film, but may transform the future of the company's workforce as well."

It's kind of bittersweet seeing Strong Towns featuring data from the 2022 "Economic MRI" Urban3 performed in Covington, GA where I live. The fact City of Covington, Georgia paid to have the study performed is a reason for pride (and more importantly, hope). I just wish our officials were moving more quickly to use the data to make better long-term choices about land use, development patterns, and financial management. Like most North American cities, the study showed Covington is accruing a deficit of ~$8.5M/year in long-term infrastructure replacement liability by not focusing on compact developments that are financially productive. But at least we have the data to show where we are and where we should be working go.
