Beyond May Day: Part 1

from The Labor Notes Podcast · host Labor Notes

Billionaires and powerful interests are attempting to hijack our government to marginalize dissent, crush worker power, and drive immigrant workers and trans people out of public life—and that's just their starting point. Meanwhile, workers have been building actions with their coworkers, most recently at more than a 1,000 May Day rallies across the US. How do we escalate from this month's massive rallies and walkouts? How can workers build a movement that can resist against state terror and carry a vision for a society that works for all of us? How and where should we be meeting each other right now?  Labor Notes Organizer Luis Feliz Leon joins the pod this week to talk about what organizing in this phase can look like. This is part 1 of a two-part episode. Tune in again on Friday, May 23, for part 2!
