What do workers' organizations and radio stations have in common? In recent years, community radio and other forms of grassroots media has played an increasingly powerful role in the struggle for workers' rights nationwide. This workshop will look at how workers are telling their own stories and how progressive labor is utilizing radio, film, the internet to create its own media as a tool to fight and win monumental victories in an age of widespread corporate control. Join us to discuss why we, as media activists, should tune in and take note of the workers' rights movement and its lesser-known, yet undeniably effective model for social change.
