Hey everybody Sean here just a quick announcement the independent labor club of New York is going very very well

We just had our big kickoff party on may day it was dope a ton of people came out to the park and then to wood buying after. If you've heard about the ILC and you're

interested in doing something like that, we're actually doing an open call out right now to see if there's

anybody specifically in the southwestern part of the United States who's

interested in trying to form something, trying to put something together.

We already have some people on the ground who are down to start organizing, working together on, you know, something like the model we have in New York.

So if this is you, if you are in the Phoenix region, that area in general, you'll find a link in the show description to the ILC telegram channel.

Pop in, say hello and let us know you're in the area.

If this sounds intriguing to you and you're from a different area, whether in the United States or elsewhere,
