Do you think it's okay for companies to recruit foreign workers?
These immigrants thought they were coming here to get a better life and provide for their families. But instead they had to suffer through poor working conditions and unfair wages. They worked 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and didn't get paid for sick days or vacation, if they got hurt during the job they got no compensation. Kids as young as five would have to work just so that family could put food on the table because the adults in the family did not get paid enough. To speed up production in these companies, employers would pressure the tired, low-paid laborers to work faster. This act would often lead to accidents and if you were injured they didn't take responsibility over it. They would push them to the side and hire new workers to replace them. This is unfair to the workers and their families. Something needs to change, what would you do?
Dear future citizens of America
Dear Future Americans,
I am writing to you on the day women were given the right to vote. I have heard you some conflicts about same sex marriage and I would like to give suggestions about how to achieve this. When I, and many other women, were fighting for women's voting rights, we did numerous things. One thing we did was host a parade to make awareness of what is going on. A lot of women got on board and we marched the streets. We had many rough patches along the way though.
As we were in the parade, marching, men of all ages were booing us. But that shouldn't phase you if you are trying to get something you've wanted for so long. As African American women joined in with us, the crowd lined up on both sides of the street were getting more hectic than anyone ever expected . The police couldn't stop them. They barged through the ropes that were keeping them impacted, and attacked us women. Sharp objects were thrown, people tackled to the ground. Over 100 people were sent to the hospital.
If you take this letter into consideration and decide to host a parade, here are some things I would do differently. You need to be prepared for the worst. Now a days police can hold off a crowd, but you should also have some sort of protection. Protest through all the name calling, booing, or whatever may happen. We protested through it and we got the newspaper in our favor. Please take the time and be aware of what you do. Fight through it!
Sincerely,
Alice Paul
