Please meet and listen to Angelika Maldonado, former Chairwoman and current Vice President of the Amazon Labor Union. She is a leader, alongside Chris Smalls, who successfully organized a union election at Amazon's JFK 8 Staten Island warehouse. The fight is far from over, as you'll hear in Part 2.

The Positive Message the Left Needs

Janelle Jolley’s new podcast is fresh, funny, and exactly the positive message the progressive left needs right now. Love that each episode is based on people’s real life stories.
