Primer: Thinking Outside the Big Box

This week, we speak with Alex Han, executive editor of Organizing Upgrade about a recent conversation he moderated between an Amazon activist named Howard and Wade Rathke, chief organizer of ACORN in the U.S. from 1970 – 2008. The discussion focuses on the successes and failures of organizing during the era in which Walmart was the ascendant force in commerce, a role Amazon plays today.Organizing Upgrade published the conversation as a three part series you can read here.You can listen to Primer by searching for Jacobin Radio on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
