"She wasn’t taken seriously and wasn’t believed when she presented herself as the head farmer.

Later, when Annie became the primary operator of her own farm at Blue Rock Station, she made it a priority to connect with and support other women farmers in her region. She organized farm tours where aspiring women farmers and consumers alike could explore woman-owned operations, she created a group called Women Grow Ohio, hosted a conference series, and stood up for women’s rights on her local Farm Service Committee.

Standing in her power in meetings with community members or government agencies where women’s voices often went unheard made the men involved angry.

Our societal prioritization of men and men’s feelings has made it very difficult for women like Annie Warmke to center their needs. Women are not only supposed to occupy the role of humble sidekick, but they are also supposed to be pleasing in how they dress, how they speak, and what they say. Women are not allowed to upset or offend. Women are not allowed to speak their truth if it will make men uncomfortable."

Negotiations between United Airlines and its flight attendants (represented by the AFA-CWA) have gone on for nearly six years, with cabin crews working without a raise since 2020. After rejecting an initial deal last summer, the two sides reached a new tentative agreement in late March 2026, which is now awaiting ratification. 

A previous tentative agreement (TA1) reached in May 2025 was rejected by 71% of flight attendants in July 2025, forcing both sides back to the negotiating table.

 The new deal includes immediate raises upon ratification, top pay reaching $100 an hour boarding pay, and "sit pay" for long waits between flights.

 Voting on the new TA2 opened on April 23, 2026, and close on May 12, 2026. If ratified, contract implementation is set for May 31, 2026.

Airlines' management has praised their flight crews for the service they give their passengers.  To that we ask, "What took you so long to offer them a reasonable contract including the first pay raise since 2020?"

Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21,is your day to shine.  Vote YES to retore fair elections and remind your friends and family to do the same.  Patriotic Americans are watching this election and hoping to see Virginians set an example for the rest of the country to follow in the fight to preserve our democracy!
