Episode Description

“When a seed is ready to sprout, and when the conditions are right, nothing can stop it.” –Ricardo Levins Morales

In the last few months, Minnesota has not only made headlines, but history. The resistance to ICE atrocities has been fueled by working class collective action and care. There is much to learn about how the crisis is evolving, from January 23rd’s historic work stoppage to the continued daily, on-the-ground mutual aid and rapid response networks keeping people fed, housed, and safe from authoritarian aggressors. Hear from union leaders and rank-and-filers who have been active on the frontlines and behind the scenes about what we are capable of when we come together, and what must be done to keep growing worker power.

Speakers:

Paul Kirk-Davidoff - Twin Cities Labor Report

Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou - Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation
