#200: Video game workers are organizing Oct 27, 2023

Chuck talks with Allen Junge, Kate Anderson, and Emmi Cohen of the Activision Blizzard King (ABK) Workers Alliance about how video game workers are unionizing and organizing for a better work environment! Acivision-Blizzard is one of the largest video game publishers in the world and is the publisher for games like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Crash Bandicoot, and more. The ABK Workers Alliance is a group of organized workers from video game company Activision Blizzard. Formed in response to a July 2021 state lawsuit against the company for harassment and discriminatory work practices, the worker advocacy group A Better ABK organized walkouts and demonstrations against the company's policy and practices. The quality assurance workers of subsidiary Raven Software went on strike in December after part of the team was fired. The striking workers announced their union as the Game Workers Alliance in late January 2022 and offered to end the strike pending their union's recognition.

#175: Progressive rural organizing and facts don't care about your feelings (on school lunch) Mar 28, 2023

Callie is back from surgery and fought through the pain to be with us today! That's how much she loves y'all!
We talk to Matt Hildreth, Executive Director of Rural Organizing (RuralOrganizing.org) to discuss the progressive road map to rebuild a rural America that is empowered, thriving, and equitable. RuralOrganizing.org is committed to pursuing creativity, equity, and justice at all organizational levels and throughout all programs.
Plus, we talk about Kirk Cameron's library hissy fit in Tennessee that led to a library director getting canned, teeing us up for our list of 5 wildly unhinged things the Left Behind star has done/said
AND! We give an impassioned rant about the absurd notion presented by Ben Shapiro that school lunches don't have any meaningful impact on solving child hunger (spoiler: he is woefully incorrect).
