1:30:43Now PlayingThroughout history, organized workers have served as the driving force behind every major progressive achievement. From the historic general strike of enslaved workers that decisively shattered the institution of slavery, to the pivotal sit-down strikes that brought millions into labor unions, the power of the working class is clear: when we stand united, courageous, and organized, we propel the movement for a better world. Today, as the Trump administration escalates its war on workers and threatens hard-won rights secured over generations of struggle, forging a militant labor movement is an urgent necessity. Realizing this potential requires us to creatively organize and engage in the dynamic movement against Trump.
