Throughout history, there have been times when people set aside individual endeavors and came together to support one another. In agrarian communities, haying season was one such time. Families and neighbors would gather in the fields, pitchforks in hand, to bring in the harvest. The work was hard, but with many hands, the load grew lighter and the bonds of community grew stronger.

 

That spirit of cooperation is at the heart of Pitchfork Threads. Our name nods to the tradition of “pitching in” and showing up for each other when it matters most.  We're not promoting  storming castles with farm tools in hand, but the idea that everyday people can, and must, come together to demand fairness, dignity, and opportunity.

 

As President Theodore Roosevelt once said:

“No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carrying the general load.”

 

Our vision echoes that truth: fair wages for a fair day’s work, and a more equitable share of prosperity. When we pitch in together just as our ancestors did in fields, factories, and community halls great things can happen.  So get out there, pitch in, and let's make the world a better place together!
