  • Labor, the Left, and the Specter of a Strike at UPS

    Labor, the Left, and the Specter of a Strike at UPS
    Jun 29 2023
    This week we’re talking about the labor movement and the political left. How can they support one another? Is the impending UPS workers strike a redux of their successful win in 1997? What are the political implications of a massive workers strike?

    This episode is a companion to our recent Bloc Doc video release, “UPS Strike: Lessons from ‘97”. Our old friend Jeremy Flood comes back to interview Jacobin staff writer Alex Press about the UPS workers organizing this year.

    Jeremy is a Brooklyn based filmmaker who now works as a video producer for the United Auto Workers union.

    Alex N. Press is a staff writer at Jacobin. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Nation, and n+1, among other places.

    Debate Me, Bro!
    Jun 15 2023
    In this episode, six JD staffers get in touch with their inner high school debate team identity and battle it out.

    Are progressives too online? Should the left run for president in 2024? Is it more impactful to organize around federal or local politics? Do you eat your rice with a fork or a spoon? We’re engaging with the hard hitting topics of today’s discourse.

    We promised a lighter, fun episode and here it is!

  • An Inch in U.S. Politics Moves Miles On the Ground in Israel-Palestine

    An Inch in U.S. Politics Moves Miles On the Ground in Israel-Palestine
    Jun 2 2023
    How does the Israeli government maintain the invisibility of Palestinian dehumanization? For progress to take place, will Israelis have to stand up to their own government, or will that pressure have to come from the outside?

    In Part 2 of our series about our staffers’ recent trip to Israel-Palestine, Alex and Amira share with Waleed some of the more personal moments of witnessing occupation from their time spent with the IMEU (Institute for Middle East Understanding).

    We also hear more specifically about how Americans can help end the occupation.
