In 2012, the Fight for $15 and a Union launched, catalyzing a mass movement of low wage working people that helped raise wages across the country and plant the seed for today's resurgence of the power of working people in union. 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.
