A webinar sponsored by Workers World Party: www.workers.org
The past few weeks have seen the extraordinary resistance of the Palestinian people against Zionist occupation and genocide greeted by an unprecedented outpouring of global solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. In addition to mass demonstrations, and rockets fired in response to Zionist bombings in Gaza, Palestinians organized a general strike on May 18, 2021.
Thousands of miles away in Bessemer, AL, Amazon workers experienced a temporary setback when a vote to unionize was defeated after Amazon employed outrageous union-busting tactics. Despite the setback, workers continue to organize in Bessemer, and the outcome of the vote is being challenged at the NLRB in response to Amazon's manipulations. Amazon workers are also organizing elsewhere across the country, including in Staten Island, NY.
What is the relationship between these developments? What do they signify for the development or global resistance of working and oppressed people against the ruling class? Join a conversation with Workers World Party First Secretary Larry Holmes this as we explore these questions.
Interviewers: Romeo Channer, WWP candidate from the San Francisco Bay Area branch Judy Greenspan, Member WWP San Francisco Bay Area branch, Oakland public school teacher

There are 2 versions of this webinar on the R4A server. Both versions are the full webinar (55:30), lightly edited for pacing and content, mostly removal of "um, uh, you know" and false starts. I didn't add my own intro/outro to either version:
Version 1: A -24 LUFS Mp3 optimized for RADIO PLAY.
Version 2: A -19 LUFS Mp3 optimized for downloading onto a computer or mobile device for INDIVIDUAL USE. Identical content to Version 1, but a louder file encoded at a lower bitrate so it takes up less space.

Would you like to:
1. Download all or part of the Essential Dissent archive in a few clicks via OneDrive?
2. Access my audio in .wav format, which is the highest quality and preferred if you do your own edits for later conversion to a different format?
3. Download episodes that have disappeared from R4A?
4. Access extras such as conference journals which give more detailed information about the presenters, panels and sponsoring organizations?
5. Continue doing all of the above even if R4A becomes defunct?
Send an email to wvought at gmail dot com, requesting the archive link. Include Essential Dissent Archive in the subject line.
If you’re affiliated with a radio station, please tell me your radio station’s call letters and the name of your show. If you’re a podcaster, please tell me the name of your podcast. And if you’re an end user who just wants to stream or download some interesting audio, that’s cool too.
The link will give you access to the Essential Dissent archive (including all subsequent episodes) for as long as the archive is available on OneDrive. (If I ever have reason to move the archive I'll send you the new link.)
A big advantage of this system is that if R4A ever stops working or vanishes altogether, I’ll still be able to post new episodes to the archive, and you’ll still be able to download them. In that case I'll send a notification when I post a new episode (but you can opt out of receiving notifications at any time).
You are welcome to share the link with others, but since I will then not have their email address they will not receive notifications, nor will I be able to send them a new link should that become necessary. It’s best to have them contact me to be added to my email list.
No spam, no fee, no BS, and I’ll remove your email address from my list upon request.
