ITT Staff Picks: - “Domestic workers are organizing to make care work a 2020 election issue,” writes Sheila Bapat in a recent article for Truthout.  - “Rather than being politically inactive, many non-voters organized outside of electoral spheres long before Trump took office, and argue that Trump is not exceptional,” writes Vanessa Taylor in this piece for Mic that sheds light on why some Black and brown voters are opting out. - Ben Mathis-Lilley gives an update on the presidential election in a round-up for Slate.
