A Tender Riot’s first guest, Benjamin Kersten (he/they), talks about his organizing experience with the UAW and JVP as a graduate student at UCLA. We explore the dynamics of worker action on campuses, community-building through mobilization, and the role of unions in larger social movements.

This episode was recorded in early June, during the UCLA strike.

A Tender Riot is a podcast about abolition, socialism, and relating to each other as whole human beings.
