An excerpt of an interview with Utah Phillips in 2003. He talks about the origins of the IWW, the labor movement, corporate fascism and the US with a comparison to the rise of the Nazis.

Worth a listen.

"The long memory is the most radical idea in America..."

Utah Phillips tells the story of the 1912 Lawrence textile strike...
"Fellow workers with their hands in their pockets have more power than the combined power of the bosses."

They gave everything, they won the strike.

"We want bread, yes, but we want roses too." - A young woman striker

This song and album is a fantastic collaboration between Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco.

@bss I listen to this album when I need to recharge my batteries. This story in particular.

"I knew that it it was all wrong that it all had change and that that change had to start with me"
