Our first installment of our two-week showcase of listener favorites features the late great labor organizer Jane McAlevey. In this July 29, 2017 interview, Jane charts out a course for claiming power in the Trump era - around the bought-off electoral system captured by the rich, and beyond the short-term battles of the online left - towards true power for the American worker, and explains why that path starts with class conciousness and a willingness to battle capital at the point of production.
