Is the Great Depression a glimpse of our future? w/Dana Frank | Working People

“During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the US economy almost completely collapsed,” historian Dana Frank writes in her new book, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? “By 1933 a third of all those who’d had jobs were unemployed; another third were scraping by with lesser work. Racism, far from collapsing, festered and metastasized as insecurity rippled through the country, pushing people of color even further downward... As we face our own crises today—a precarious economy, outrageous...

What a can of tuna can teach us about international workers’ solidarity | Working People

Longtime Working People listeners will be familiar with Max and Mel’s extended work discussing the supply chain, the workers who keep that system running day in and day out, and the dangerous and exploitative working conditions that many workers labor under. Our global economy relies on these workers to stay running–and bosses around the world use this pressure as a cudgel against the workers. For today’s episode of Working People , we’re zooming out and taking a look at the global supply chain ...

'Nonprofit killer' bill: Congress' plan to KILL Palestine activism w/Chip Gibbons & Noah Hurowitz

The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, or HR 9495, has passed a vote in the House. If approved by the Senate, this bill would grant the Treasury Department broad powers to label nonprofit organizations, especially those that have been critical of Israel, as supporters of "terrorism" and strip them of their tax-exempt status without due process. What are the chances that HR 9495 will become law? If it does, will it be used as a weapon to target political enemies and...

Union president explains existential threat Trump poses to organized labor—and how we fight back

For all his promises to deliver for US workers, Trump's political agenda poses an existential threat to organized labor. Project 2025's planned assault on the National Labor Relations Board, which governs collective bargaining in the private sector, for instance, could put a screeching halt to unionization efforts across the country. "A potential Republican trifecta, along with Project 2025, will be catastrophic for unions, including my own," Jimmy Williams, general president of the Internationa...

The truth about solitary confinement

"Who would want to lock somebody in a room the size of your bathroom and leave them in there for three years...and expect them to come out in the same condition that they went in? That's insanity."

“Let’s unite!”: Poisoned residents of America’s sacrifice zones are banding together | Working People

Sacrifice zones are areas where people have been left to live in conditions that threaten life itself, from toxic industrial pollution to the deadly, intensifying effects of man-made climate change. In a more just and less cruel society, the very concept of a “sacrifice zone” wouldn’t exist. And yet, in America, after decades of deregulation and public disinvestment, more working-class communities are becoming sacrifice zones, and more of us are being set up for sacrifice at the altars of corpor...

Abby Martin, Francesca Fiorentini, and Kat Abughazaleh respond to Trump’s win

While Democrats are looking for scapegoats to blame for their losses on election day, Donald Trump is busy making cabinet and administration appointments. When it comes to US policy on issues ranging from the climate crisis to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, from public health policy to reproductive rights and labor rights and civil rights, from trade wars to mass deportations, one thing is clear: a lot is about to change.
