Super-Exploitation and Resistance – Podcast launched

May 12, 2021

The Steelworkers Humanity Fund invites you to listen to Super-Exploitation and Resistance, a podcast that brings the voices of labour leaders, activists, organizers, and social movements to a North American audience, sharing the perspectives of people on the frontlines of social struggle and change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

This month’s episode, Taking State Power Through Elections, will use the recent elections in Peru and Ecuador as examples of how the quality of life of millions of people can be improved when leftist and progressive politicians win state power through elections – and the limitations of this strategy.

Super-Exploitation and Resistance is produced by Steelworkers Humanity Fund partner Common Frontiers, an alliance of Canadian unions and social organizations supporting local and international work for economic and social justice across the Americas.

Have a “listen” and please share far and wide!
