History has shown us the power of coming together. During the early 20th century, workers, reformers, and lawmakers united to pass groundbreaking labor laws. These included limiting child labor, establishing the eight-hour workday, and creating safer working conditions. These reforms demonstrated how collective action could address the dark side of industrialization and improve lives across society. During World War II, neighborhoods mobilized to feed one another. Victory gardens became a symbol of community resilience, as families grew food to share with neighbors. When we work together, we can solve many challenges.
