Welcome back! We missed you. And wow has a lot happened since the last time we talked. We’ve got a whole new Democratic ticket and a campaign increasingly centered around economic populism. So today we’re talking with Service Employees International Union President April Verrett about why she believes labor unions are intrinsic to upholding our democracy. April reflects on the power of working people and her intersectional approach to leadership. Follow April on X @SEIUPres Follow The 19th on Instagram, Facebook, X and via our newsletters.
