Pacifica Network News presents six hours of live May Day coverage from coast to coast, featuring street reports from labor actions and demonstrations across the United States. Hosts Jenna Flanagan (WBAI-New York) and Norman Stockwell (The Progressive Magazine) lead conversations with union leaders from the American Federation of Teachers, Southern Service Workers, and global trade unions on education, government corruption, healthcare, and workers’ rights. The broadcast includes historical context on labor movements and May Day from Pacifica Radio Archives, plus international solidarity voices from Cuba, Palestine, and South Africa.
Supported by unions representing 5 million households, this special coverage documents workers and communities demanding an economy that prioritizes people over billionaires.
