February 4 is Transit Equity Day and ATU Local 689 President Raymond Jackson and Labor Network For Sustainability Maryland Director Elizabeth Bunn join us to talk about why transit affects working people the most.

Then, Where Do Grocery Prices Come From? Corporate consolidation and profiteering, that’s where; Errol Schweizer, host of The Checkout Podcast, explains.
Finally, there’s a brand-new book out this month, "Revolutionary Nonviolence, Organizing for Freedom", and one of the authors, Michael Honey, joins us to discuss the philosophy and power of nonviolent organizing, and how to build and sustain effective social movements.
