In this episode Nick Novitski talks to Brace Belden about the 2019 May Day action organized by the members of IWLU Local 10 to oppose the plans of the Oakland Port Commision and Oakland A's owner John Fisher to build a new baseball stadium on the site of Howard Terminal.
Thanks to the Labor Video Project, you can watch Brace's full speech at the action, along with those of many other powerful speakers, such as the president of CWA AFA International, Sara Nelson.
