Politics in the workplace. It’s getting more and more challenging to avoid politics arising even in casual conversation these days. I was always advised to keep personal beliefs out of work convos. However, a client brought up some of his own opinions the other day (that I personally agree with) but I changed the subject out of caution/habit. It just feels foreign and weird to me when it’s a work setting. Is the landscape changing? Do I need to loosen up?

Well, politics of yesteryear are not longer the same. I am not silent about basic human rights. Sure with a client I might go about it differently. But you won’t find me being quiet anymore.

Letting this go is the problem. Corporations are now ruling the government. Don’t be silent. If you don’t speak up, who will? People are getting taken, USAID can’t send drugs to children who will die from Ebola and AIDS, women are at life threatening risk from bleeding and being denied care. SC wants to impose the death penalty to women who get a DNC but give no consequences to men.
What will it take for your coworkers to wake up!?
Here are some things you can do.
1. Mention a protest. 50501 has them all over the country.
2. Suggest calling reps 5calls.org makes it easy. You can also phone bank to Florida for the special elections on 4/1
3. Share that you’re getting off Amazon, Target, Home Depot, nestle, Walmart, coke. Pull your $ from oligarchs that are getting tax cuts to fund hate while your taxes will go up. Sign up for Costco 😊

Pick one and see what happens. Don’t be discouraged. Lots of people appreciate that you are saying what they’re too scared to face.
