Revolutions Per Minute - Radio from the New York City Democratic Socialists of America

New Jersey Workers and Tenants Fighting Back

Episode Summary

We're crossing the Hudson River once again to speak to our socialist comrades fighting for workers’ and tenants’ rights in New Jersey. We’ll hear live from Isaac and Julia of the Right to Counsel campaign in Jersey City, now the priciest city in the nation, on their organizing to guarantee representation from an attorney for all tenants facing evictions and other housing issues. We also speak to Deepti, an undergraduate student at Rutgers University, and Sarah, a member of the grad union’s bargaining committee, on their recent and historic strike and what’s next for workers at the largest university in New Jersey.
