Long Island is feeling the labor wave caused by "Striketober" the month of strikes across various American Industries. UFCW 2013 is currently on strike against poor working conditions at Quality King's Bellport Warehouse.
Our communities across Long Island are also feeling the brunt of political development, and antagonization by the Far-Right. Saturday October 16th saw the Proud Boys, a National Chauvinist/Fascist group, march through Patchogue at peak drinking hours. The next day, Sunday October 17th, saw the annual Long Island Loud Majority caravan back up traffic for miles on 27 East from Seaford LIRR station to Montauk. In this episode I talk about how to fight fascism by helping your neighbor, and uniting through labor and national duty.
