What brings me out here is, well, really long standing support in my own denomination for
workers and for workers' rights.
Today we're out here to fight for workers' rights, particularly in the restaurant industry, to have a livable wage.
My name is Sophia Portier and I'm out here with United Students Against Sweat Shops and we're supporting Fight for $15.
Fight for $15 is a campaign that fast food workers are running across the country trying to attain $15 an hour for the work that they do.
This is an extension of Dr. King's work, 50 years ago, that was a march on Washington for freedom and for jobs.
I've been a fast food worker myself, and so there's no reason why people who do those types of jobs can't get a living wage.
They deserve to be paid the wage that their work is worth, and their work is worth a lot more than they're being paid now.
$15 an hour to work at fast food, that's a little high.
What would you say to those people?
I would say that they should work as a fast food worker for a little while and see what it's like to do that type of job.
You know, the way the rhetoric always runs on these things is if we're going to give them a pay raise, $15 an hour, then we're going to have to cut back on the number of workers we have.
Nobody talks about cutting the profit margin.
That $15, when it goes into the pockets of the normal people, is going to go back into the market economy.
So it actually does better for the economy than not paying them.
When you don't pay them, They have a much harder time living.
They have to then rely on all of the public programs that we have.
For the union makes us strong, Solidarity forever strong.
Does it concern you at all with the current health care system, the Obamacare,
where employers are actually cutting their workers hours, so the workers can't qualify for health care?
Does that concern you?
Right, that's another big problem.
Not everyone has access to medical care, to healthcare.
The kinds of actions that you're talking about where people are cutting hours so that someone falls just underneath the healthcare threshold, that's the action of corporate autocracy.
That's the action of a corporate system that really does not care for the people that it That it employs, really does not care for anything other than their own bottom line.
And if that means they have to subject people to inhumane treatment in order to get that
bottom line, that's what they'll do.
Skaters have always been against the grain socially.
Now wake up your friends politically.
Just go to InfoWarsStore.com.
We have Divide and Conquer or Brainwashing.
Then take your deck to your local skate shop, pick out your own trucks, your own wheels, and then hit the streets and wake some people up.
Here is legendary skateboarder Jake Nunn.
This one has a lot more concave than I have on my board.
And I like concave.
It makes it easier to turn and feel the board.
It's pretty cool.
I mean, it's almost the same shape as mine.
It's not really a sport, and it's not really art.
It's just kind of freedom, you know?
I've listened to Alex Jones for a long time, and I love what InfoWars does.
I've always loved Alien Workshop, too.
I think it's kind of cool you guys got together.
This one's pretty nice.
Definitely one for the wall, one for the collection.
Also good to skate.
