Labor activists and union supporters are sharing the famous slogan 'Don't mourn. Organize.', associated with executed union organizer Joe Hill and long used by the Industrial Workers of the World. The phrase is being posted in discussions of working-class organizing and US politics, as a call to channel anger into union and workplace action rather than despair.

Why now: The slogan resonates amid current US political and labor tensions, prompting activists to invoke Joe Hill's legacy of militant organizing.
