In this episode, we speak with Chris Smalls, labor organizer known for his role in leading Amazon worker organization in Staten Island. He is a co-founder and the former president of the Amazon Labor Union. Chris was also a member of the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza. He is joined by Hazami Barmada, a social entrepreneur and strategy consultant for the United Nations and the founder and owner of The Barmada Group, a Washington, DC-based boutique consulting firm. Together they are calling on the US U.S. labor movement to recognize genocide in Gaza and end arms shipments.
They are promoting a national protest and day of action at the AFL-CIO in Washington DC to demand that there be a labor boycott of Israel to stop the genocide and that the AFL-CIO formally oppose the genocide and support the campaign to hold Israel accountable for the war crimes and genocide.
