@sianberry is a national treasure. She& #39;s v smart, oozes positivity and optimism (so badly needed right now). Never cynical. Pragmatic & practical. Oh, and she doesn& #39;t have to do the fake t dropping thing to be down w the real people. She just is. Think she& #39;ll do well tomorrow.

As activists we try to influence pols. Can be hard going. But a few years ago, long before Uber was in critical focus, @sianberry left comments & asked questions about Uber on a niche blog I was writing. She asked to meet to learn more about what was happening to workers.

Since then @sianberry & @CarolineRussell have been kind, sincere and loyal supporters of gig workers. But they did it with us from the ground up w authenticity. That is kind of rare in these times.
