In this issue, we turn our attention to labor, exploited labor, how to harness your power as someone who labors, the people who perform it, and the systems that determine what our labor is worth.

We delve into how to start a union at your workplace, the invisible labor force that brings fresh produce to your home, and the everyday realities of working-class Americans struggling to make ends meet amid the current inflation crisis. We speak with Ain’t I a Woman?, an organization leading the fight to end the 24-hour workday and challenge a culture that demands that certain labor does not need to be paid for.

Also in this issue: a profile of artist Isabelle Brouman, who has moved from sketching larger-than-life figures in the courtroom to documenting events on the ground at ICE flashpoints. In our magazine exlcusive game, The Price Is Not Right, test your knowledge of just how much you’re being exploited in a game that puts a price tag on the hidden costs of everyday work. Turn up the volume with a playlist designed to raise your class consciousness, sharpen your sense of solidarity, and encourage you to demand what is yours.

Plus essays, interviews, a profile on Palestinian Youth Movement's new project Documenting Genocide, as well as an op-ed from our ongoing Midterm Election Series: Lessons from Reconstruction, examining parallels between the Reconstruction era and American politics today — plus more!!!

Each issue also comes with a free A3 poster, designed by Andy McKenzie (@bobandy.jpg), winner of our Shadowbanned Magazine Poster Contest.
