Our Cafe con Causa member meetings are held once a month in SF and West Oakland. Today we're talking about eviction protections.
A new cohort of migrant workers is taking over China’s construction sites. Fifteen to 29 year-olds now make up 70 to 80% of the entire floating population. While the older nongmingong (“peasant workers”) retain a nostalgia for the Maoist period, migrant youth have grown up under “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” and their expectations for the future are shaped by the values of the new China. Though today’s youth never knew the state-guaranteed social protections of earlier periods, known as “iron rice bowls”, they are on average better educated than their elders and more able to take advantage of opportunities afforded by the loosening of controls on internal migration. Those of the older generation lack adequate welfare provisions and will most likely never be in a position to retire. By the sheer force of their numbers, migrant youth expected to settle in the cities for the long term will also reshape urban labour markets. The younger migrants are increasingly vocal about their grievances and are regarded by the central government as among those groups with the greatest potential to threaten social stability.

The process to get this photo was stupid! All I wanted was a photo but I had to wait like 10 minutes for a freaking manager to come over and say, uhhhhhh yeah I guess. Holy crap it was dumb but I got the photo so I'm hyped. Space. Unity. I sharpened the image. Infinite DOF. West.

On the left is an illustration that I did with copic markers (alcohol ink). The inspiration was from an old book on chocolate that I picked up from the library's used book sale. There are some really neat images in the book. I was thinking about the campaign and the war on workers when I did this page. The illustration on the right is a self-portrait that I did (obviously channeling Frida Kahlo) during the summer entirely with watercolor crayons.
