Lifelong advocate for racial and economic equity | Host of the Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life podcast and Radical Imagination podcast
In this chapter, there’s a new spirit of labor activism in the air. What does this mean for a multiracial democracy? We’ll also explore why a “just economy,” where people receive fair wages, ample benefits, and comprehensive job protections, is key to building a good life for all.
There has been a surge in union organizing across the nation, including Los Angeles. In this chapter of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, we look at the role of labor in modern L.A. Angela speaks with WGA strike captain, Helen Shang; Roxana Tynan, Executive Director of LAANE, USC Professor of Sociology and Ethnic Studies, Manuel Pastor; California State Senator Maria Elena Durazo; and Kent Wong, Project Director of Labor and Community Partnerships at UCLA. Together they unpack how labor unions advance a more equitable economy and, in turn, a functioning democracy. https://lnkd.in/gmXrQRrH #LaborMovement #Labor #ReimaginingDemocracy
