20 NOV 2024 · On November 12, unionized nurses at Ascension St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore held a rally in front of the Marriott Hotel downtown, where the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was holding a meeting. St. Agnes nurses rallied with supporters from around the city, and they were even joined by fellow Ascension nurses who traveled from Wichita, Kansas, and Austin, Texas.
According to a press release from National Nurses Organizing Committee / National Nurses United (NNOC-NNU), the purpose of the rally was to “highlight how Ascension has failed to follow https://click.agilitypr.delivery/ls/click?upn=u001.JPxNM6dSPoL8Oz3J9U8FapDA9jlcPhuZO-2Fp5pBpqd1vDq-2FY1-2BfTAJAsaxm1Dpad8MYsoBJxekLDn9wljR2NqMt-2B9uk2-2FOlVTeYqvIJQ8u70bS-2FqWLfEBcoKd0czOAewcpIjbttSCzmCBmQlh7B6LJ4JbZnXm-2FinUpwx1F3-2FUlQ0-3Dcfs3_WHYRHDNyKAVeZXTVWJjFAEVDZagVyf9sWgasWinnIRaBWlKZEpiUiS97GzsIfjrvCft-2BN61ItiTc3z-2BxtHDE-2FdJrZg5Pph1llrwiey8PCDKXsRc-2Bj7OJ-2FTRWizvLmrwaZXWbxvxKSgTN21k01Se-2Bhlf-2BPW3OtjmMbYWajUL-2FJqr3Am9Wr426xyKcai4lNEJjYqCoyH-2BZgZzEe-2B86J-2BTVp7Fi7DzKFxX6C25WGyNIs8f6LOscObk0viaqKszotldzKRjtVSMU7x0g9JaWlxYfTKaXGq814eL0BOLcoTlIFfvnvMTGnjIOesNkmBFWCWo2Mylemw8CPeTYQyfQ0TYf5Hwf4znufgXLHurzMiKkCnzYVhwN6scG-2BIm2ct2gjhKmSzcdZUxxODPJoCT-2FWNNJ1VbRV7urGnHHAIyX2C1DMCp5YO4lduFeF7BY4HJxR5nO to both serve and advocate for patients ‘at the margins of society’ and ‘treat its employees respectfully and justly.’... Baltimore nurses have been in negotiations since Feb. 2024, following a successful union election in November 2023. Ascension has failed to bargain in good faith with Saint Agnes nurses on language that would improve safe staffing and protect patients from cuts to services, lawsuits for billing disputes, and surprise billing or excess charges.” In this on-the-ground episode, you’ll hear speeches and chants from the Nov. 12 rally, and we speak with Gideon Eziama, a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience who has worked at Ascension St. Agnes for the last six years, and Lisa Watson, a registered nurse at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, who traveled to Baltimore to stand in solidarity with her coworkers at Ascension St. Agnes.

15 NOV 2024 · Sacrifice zones are areas where people have been left to live in conditions that threaten life itself, from toxic industrial pollution to the deadly, intensifying effects of man-made climate change. In a more just and less cruel society, the very concept of a “sacrifice zone” wouldn’t exist. And yet, in America, after decades of deregulation and public disinvestment, more working-class communities are becoming sacrifice zones, and more of us are being set up for sacrifice at the altars of corporate greed and government abandonment.
America’s sacrifice zones are no longer extreme outliers; they are, in fact, a harrowing model of the future that lies in store for most of us if the corporate monsters, corporate politicians, and Wall Street vampires destroying our communities aren’t stopped. And residents of different sacrifice zones across the country, fellow workers on the frontlines of all this reckless and preventable destruction, are connecting with each other, learning from one another, and working together to fight back. In this Working People liveshow, recorded on Oct. 19 at Red Emma’s worker cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space in Baltimore, we speak with a special panel of residents from four different sacrifice zones in the US about how the situations they’re facing in their own communities and their struggles for justice and accountability are connected.
Panelists include: Hilary Flint, communications director of Beaver County Marcellus Awareness Community and a former resident of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, a few miles from the site of the Feb 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment and chemical disaster in East Palestine, Ohio; Melanie Meade, a community organizer, educator, and life-long resident of Clairton, Pennsylvania, the site of US Steel's Clairton Coke Works, which was named the most toxic air polluter in Allegheny County in a 2021 report by PennEnvironment; Elise Keaton Wade, a real estate attorney by trade, longtime environmental justice activist, and a native of Southern West Virginia; Angela “Angie” Shaneyfelt, a resident of Curtis Bay in South Baltimore, who lives just blocks away from an open air coal terminal owned and operated by rail giant CSX Transportation, which has been polluting her community for generations.
Special thanks to Dr. Nicole Fabricant and the South Baltimore Community Land Trust for organizing this live show.

15 NOV 2024 · While Democrats are looking for scapegoats to blame for their losses on election day, Donald Trump is busy making cabinet and administration appointments. When it comes to US policy on issues ranging from the climate crisis to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, from public health policy to reproductive rights and labor rights and civil rights, from trade wars to mass deportations, one thing is clear: a lot is about to change. But between Trump’s own contradictory statements and a corporate, independent, and social media ecosystem overflowing with conjecture, misinformation, propaganda, and partisan hackery, it is difficult to know what exactly is coming, how we should be preparing for it, and how we can fight it.
So what are we facing, really? How do we get ready for the fight ahead? What tools do we need to parse fact from fiction in this critical moment, when talk is everywhere but truth is in short supply? What lessons from the last Trump administration can we use to effectively navigate the very different political terrain we’re on and media ecosystem we’re in today? In this livestream, we dug into these questions (and answered yours!) with independent media makers https://www.instagram.com/fababs/ of http://theempirefiles.tv/, https://www.instagram.com/franifio/ of “https://www.youtube.com/franifio” podcast, and https://www.tiktok.com/@katmabu of https://www.motherjones.com/author/kat-abughazaleh/.
