UnCivil Uprising: Can A General Strike Save Democracy

Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika, hosts of the Peabody Award-winning podcast Uncivil, ask "Can a general strike save American democracy? "
About this Event

The hosts of the Peabody Award-winning podcast Uncivil are back — and they're asking the question nobody in power wants you to consider: Can a general strike save American democracy?

Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika built their reputation unearthing the buried, inconvenient truths of American history. Now they turn that lens on the labor movement — tracing the hidden stories of workers who fought back against gilded-age oligarchs, accumulated wealth, and authoritarian drift. Their conclusion? The most powerful weapon against fascism might be the one we've nearly forgotten.

This is not a history lesson. It's a warning — and a call to action.
