Sesame Workers Union
Brennyn Nast lights this candle of joy for the Sesame Workers Union. On May 15th the workers behind the non-profit that produces Sesame Street formed a union! Though Brennyn was laid off in March, they have continued to work for this union effort that they began with a small group of colleagues nearly 2 years ago. What an incredible joy it is to see this labor union make it over the finish line! Wishing them strength and solidarity as they negotiate.
