Greece is in the throes of an economic meltdown. The IMF, EU, and European Central Bank, with the backing of the German government, have imposed severe austerity measures forcing Greeks to pay off a debt incurred by corrupt politicians. The conditions imposed on a bailout have led to massive layoffs, worsening conditions for workers, rampant wage theft, the shredding of the social safety net, and sharp increases in taxes. The cuts have have plunged the economy into a death spiral, forcing unemployment to 27% and climbing.
Much as the Nazis arose in Weimar Germany by exploiting similar economic conditions, Golden Dawn, an avowedly fascist political party, has been rapidly gaining power in Greece. Golden Dawn captured seven percent of the seats in parliament in the most recent election. Armed with government funding and the tacit cooperation of thepolice (many of whom are Golden Dawn members), fascists attack and murder immigrants in the streets, while offering free social services to Greek citizens to build their support base.
It is a bleak picture- but there is hope. Ordinary Greeks are mobilizing to prevent the right-wing takeover of their country. Neighborhood assemblies, Immigrant solidarity groups, labor unions and other civil society organizations are resisting both Golden Dawn and the destructive government policies that created the economic collapse, and increasingly challenging capitalist control of the economy with strikes and workplace occupations. In northeast Greece, workers at Vio.Me (www.viome.org/) have taken over their building materials factory, restarting production without bosses. They join a rising tide of workers control initiatives across the globe, opening the door to another world.

Another worker who just wandered into the shot... but I got a question; how the heck do you work at a construction site and keep your t-shirt so white? I'm fortunate to make it out of the house without soda or toothpaste on mine, and I'm not a slob.
Must be something about me and white...

Chaque chambre de dortoir Foxconn est composée de dix à douze lits attribués aléatoirement mais ne dispose pas de douche. Rares sont les camarades d’ateliers qui partagent le même dortoir, renforçant encore un peu plus leur solitude.
Community health worker Osman S Koroma, 23 years old (yellow t-shirt) washes his hands before heading out to undertake house visits in the village of Kathirie, Safroko Limba chiefdom, Bombali district, Sierra Leone on March 30, 2017.Osman Koroma has been a CHW since 2011. The 23-year-old said he became a CHW because he wanted to help people in his community “I saw that my people needed help. Women were dying due to child birth related issues. Children under the age of five were also dying because they were not getting medical attention early when they fell ill. But I was particularly moved when my sister died whiles giving birth at home,” he said. Osman has made it a routine to look out for sick children and pregnant women to ensure they access medical services at health facilities whenever they need to. He was also very instrumental in controlling the spread of Ebola in his village during the outbreak in Sierra Leone, through surveillance, contact tracing and ensuring that quarantined households adhered to the quarantine procedures.

Saw this old santa looking guy for about 3 weeks straight everyday sitting waiting in his truck early in the morning outside my apartment complex. Never really knew what his deal was until one morning he got out, opened his passenger side door and starting pissing on the street, then got out an orange construction workers vest, put it on and walked across the street to a construction site where a condo is being built. He looked like santa....except for he was a construction worker!
