Totally agree as a lot of the most powerful unions are white male supremisist organizations. I also think McCarthyism damaged unions in a way that they never recovered from and put them on the defensive of constantly having to prove they weren’t communists. There’s still some great unions out there. I don’t know how to achieve widespread solidarity I just think it would be a very effective strategy in this situation where the executive branch is wanting to start a violent campaign against the American people to squash decent. In this situation a powerful peaceful protest is essential
