In our latest episode with talk with long time direct action organizer Lisa Fithian. We talked about many of the issues confronting us right now, and how people are fighting back.  
Lisa's been on the front lines for almost four decades, from fighting against  the Reagan attacks on Central  America, to helping organize workers, to fighting transnational institutions like the WTO and the World Bank, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, doing  Mutual Aid in New Orleans after Katrina, supporting Gaza and so many  other things.
We  talked to her about the role of  mutual aid in resistance, and also the current wave of work stoppages  and wildcats, and the potential for mass  action at this critical time  in our lives. Importantly, we discussed how  these actions are being  done for the commons, not just for individuals.    
Lisa's also just  published a memoir, "Shut it Down: Stories from a  Fierce, Loving  Resistance" and we discussed that too.
