I was the behind-the-scenes facilitator of this very informative presentation about tenants rights, particularly in Portland, Oregon, organized by these wonderful folks you see here, from Portland Tenants United.

Frank Uhlig interviewed me for his community radio program in Germany, and I thought I'd share it on my podcast.  He introduces me in German, but after that it's all in English.

I spend the hour talking about the current historical moments, and other historical moments, with longtime organizer, producer, and author of many seminal books including Strike! and Global Village or Global Pillage, Jeremy Brecher. You can find Jeremy's weekly commentaries these days at https://www.labor4sustainability.org/strike.

I spend the hour with Salt Lake Tribune photojournalist who has written extensively about Joe Hill, Ammon Hennacy and other notable radicals in Utah's sordid history, Jeremy Harmon.

I spend the hour talking with long-time labor and tenants' rights organizer, Democratic Socialists of America member and regular contributor to Counterpunch from Portland, Oregon, Shamus Cooke. His most recent article: The Capitalist Limits of Police Reform.

I spend the hour talking with Fifth Estate contributor, author, and professor at the University of Hawaii, Kathy Ferguson.

The ninth open mic in the online, pandemic series, this one was full of powerful, very current songs and poems about this historical moment, from the US, Canada, England and Ireland.

The open mic is every Monday at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, 6 pm GMT. Folks are encouraged to sign up for the next one at davidrovics.com/pomm!
