Help striking miners in Alabama

[teaotter]

I'm sorry for the copy-pasting, but I wanted to get this out.

Striking Alabama coal miners are calling out the hedge funds backing Warrior Met Coal, and whose support allows the company "to pay their executives millions of dollars a year, while the miners … are struggling to get by," says labor reporter grimkim.

From Democracy Now (link)

There are hundreds of union families in rural Alabama holding the line and trying to survive as the strike nears its 5th month.

If you can chip in, or pass the word, it'd be a big help.

You can donate to either the Strike Pantry or the Strike Aid Fund:

Strike Pantry: "We provide grocery bags, meals at rallys, baby items, and hygiene products weekly.We are also doing back to school bags for the children." Donation link

Strike Aid Fund: This fund "provides financial assistance to striking miners. Donations help keep us fighting the unfair labor practices at Warrior Met One Day Longer." Donation link

Also we've been asked to abstain from Frito-Lay and Pepsi products, in support of their strike in Kansas.
