In this episode, hear how the Fight for $15 and a Union got folks across the country to walk out despite the precarity of their jobs and clapped back at the standard divide and distract tactics of the opposition. And learn how doing an end-run around corporate controlled media by spotlighting working people’s real lives paves the way for wins and offers a vital lesson for Democrats looking to woo working class voters.
