Truthout has published the interview of Jane McAlevey by Laura Flanders titled Help Workers Connect the Dots to This Larger System of Oppression.

Jane McAlevey has a book coming out this fall from Verso called “Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell): My Decade Fighting for the Labor Movement.” I started by asking her to introduce herself, and then to talk about hell-raising in Wisconsin and the lessons the labor movement might draw from that experience, with relevance to the elections that loom just ahead of us.

Jane McAlevey speaks rapidly, so you might also want to consult the transcript published in the article.

This is interview provides insights as to what we should be doing in our efforts to get Elizabeth Warren elected as Senator from Massachusetts. I am still working on learning how to do what Jane suggests.
