This week on the Labor Heritage Power Hour: highlights from last weekend’s sold-out screenings of Steal This Story, Please! at the DC Labor FilmFest, featuring Amy Goodman, Tia Lessin, and voices from WPFW’s powerful post-film Q&A. From the station that helped launch Democracy Now! to today’s fight for independent, audience-funded media, we explore what it means to “never sell out.”
Plus, Labor Arts News on the Ball Without Billionaires, SEIU’s cultural organizing under April Verrett, major union updates from IATSE and SAG-AFTRA, and a new newsroom union in Madison. We head to the University of Maryland’s letterpress studio, where workers can print their own strike signs, and dig into the legacy of the Haymarket Affair with historian Peter Cole—who asks: who controls history?
We also feature the May 5 Bay View Massacre in Labor History in 2:00, and a story from the People’s 250 campaign reminding us that working people’s history is still being written.
Broadcast on May 7, 2026; hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant; produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Kahlia Chapman. The Labor Heritage Power Hour is a member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network and syndicated on Pacifica’s Audioport.@LaborHeritage1 @wpfwdc @aflcio #1u #unions #laborradiopod
