Introducing the RE-CONSTRUCTION.US podcast!

For our audience who enjoys reading essays and stories we now have interviews available for your listening pleasure.  Each week we will feature activists, artists, community and thought leaders on a wide range of subjects on making change in America and transforming ourselves in the process.  For our first interview, we are honored to have Kent Wong, a labor leader in the City of Los Angeles who is speaking on the intersection between unions and the Black Lives Matter movement.  You will also hear his description of the current debate about whether police unions should be allowed to remain part of the rest of the labor movement.  There are exciting things happening in today’s labor movement that Mr. Wong, who has been deeply involved in this movement for over 40 years has generously shared with Kimberly Miller in this podcast.  We hope you enjoy it.
