    We hear about Voter suppression in Georgia, Texas and many other states but we rarely hear about them in Local unions. Make no mistake, it's happening. In today's episode we have Evangeline Bryars who is running for TWU Local 100 President. We discussed tactics that are being used by local 100 and TWU International leadership to remove her from the ballot in the upcoming election. By all means necessary democracy must be guarded and that is why Evangeline challenged the union and now in court to overturn their decision.
