Hello and welcome to the Katie helper show on this episode my co-host Gabe Pacheco and I talked to Jane F. Macalibi who has been an organizer in the environmental and labor movements for over 20 years. She's a

postdoctoral fellow in the labor and work life program at Harvard Law School and

the author of Raising Expectations and Raising Hell, My Decade Fighting for the Labor Movement.

We talked to Jane about her latest book, No Shortcuts, Organizing for Power in the New

Builded Age. Jane even tells us something she has never said before.

After the interview, Gabe and I talk about identity politics, the DNC chair race,

and some surprisingly racist things Garrison Keeler said.

Then we get into some not at all surprisingly racist things that renowned

Bigget Alan Dershowitz said.

We also talk about the role that Obama played in meddling in the election.

Turns out, without Obama, Tom Perez never would have run for D and C chair.

Because we want to bring you some original reporting on that very issue I talked

to Noma Ki-Kans a reporter at the Young Turks who is on the best and most thorough

reporting on the conflicts of interest so rampant at the DNC and some of the best and most thorough

reporting on the D and C chair race which she covered from the inside.

She attended all the meetings unlike most reporters covering it, she actually was there.

This was going to be Patreon premium content, but it's too important for me not to share part of it

with everyone.
