    Podcast Summary

    • Speaking up against injusticesBringing awareness to societal issues is crucial, even if it's met with adversity, as shown in the murder of Fanny Salens and Joseph Storlesky during a picket line in 1919. The Labor Radio Podcast emphasizes the importance of speaking up against injustices.

      Despite the persistent theme of silence and marginalization in society, it's crucial for those who see the state of emergency many people face to bring awareness to the world. This message was emphasized in the Labor Radio Podcast, where the murder of Fanny Salens and Joseph Storlesky during a picket line in 1919 was remembered. Salens, a United Mine Workers of America organizer, advocated for the welfare of children with bare feet in winter. The Labor Radio Podcast is supported by Union Plus, and listeners are encouraged to donate to keep the podcast going. The importance of speaking up against injustices, even in the face of adversity, was a recurring theme throughout the podcast. The status quo may be a state of emergency, but it's our responsibility to bring change.
