We're All Working Class: A Conversation with John Russell

If you have to work for a living, then you’re working class, and the sooner we realize most of us are in the same boat, the sooner we can ban together and ask for what we need. John Russell and I talk about how we have more to gain from solidarity than division, and as John says, “It comes down to power. If we want to find common ground, and close the hate gap, it’s essential we realize our futures are irrevocably tied together”. Yes, we need to elect people who will support our needs, but we don’t have to wait around for politicians to start making change. We can start that all on our own through action.
