Cascadia Workers' Project
Ep. 8 - End Worker on Worker Violence! (Recorded 5.8.2021)
•
We have a new CWP Studio, so the show came out a little late this week. Dain and I discuss anti-Asian hate crimes in BC and Cascadia at large. We take a look at the campaign to recall Kshama Sawant Seattle's socialist mayor and why the campaign against her is ridiculous. We spend a lot of time discussing housing policies both locally and nationally and artificial in-fighting with the working class, and who really wins. We close out the day making fun of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Lawyer.
