We just finished up an inspiring live show with Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL–CIO, and 1,700 of you. She talked to us about a general strike — what it is, what it can do, how realistically it can happen.
This was a rich conversation about labor, organizing, protest, American history, the importance of emotion in the fight, the Democratic Party, and much more. Enjoy.
And some real talk. We’re trying to be good citizens by keeping these open to all. A lot of other newsletters don’t do that. But we want to know if people will support our work even when we do keep things open.

Share this far and wide. Let’s keep going. Let’s keep growing. Thank you one and all.
