When Jackie Robinson faced down slurs, spiked cleats, and pitches aimed at his head—and stole home anyway—he didn't only change baseball. He changed the world and paved the way for others, including me. On his birthday, we’re called not only to honor that legacy but build on it.

Corky Lee left us too soon. His photos chronicled the Asian American community’s journey to be visible in America. My mother bought the first photo he sold — of my sister and me at a rally for the Vietnamese Boat people. His work reminds us of all that remains to do. #CorkyLee

It’s time for a new social contract that protects all workers, including employees and independent contractors. We must both vigorously prevent misclassification AND create support systems for the self-employed.
