  • A fantastic show

    Came here by suggestion of MDC, and even though I’m not anywhere near the South, I love the show. I genuinely appreciate the updates you give on the status of laborers and unions; I’ve truly learned a lot. In a time of great anxiety, y’all provide a needed source of hope and ideas for a better, more equitable future. Keep doing the good work informing and helping people realize collective action and the power labor can wield through unions! Solidarity and support from the left coast ✊
