Labor Legend Addie L. Wyatt; American Stroke Awareness Month; Project 2025

This week’s show honors the legacy of labor legend Addie L. Wyatt while tackling urgent issues affecting working people today. We begin by recognizing May as American Stroke Awareness Month, focusing on how health equity and workplace conditions intersect. The hosts remind listeners that mental health is a union issue because no one should have to choose between a paycheck and peace of mind. We’ll dig deep into Project 2025, exposing how proposed rollbacks cut people, not corporate waste. Timmia Wiley names Hand & Stone as Union Buster of the Week for silencing workers and undermining organizing efforts. Tay Akins serves up a fresh pour in “Tea With Tay,” challenging the idea that working young activists are being invited to the table, but please don’t give us No Kids Menu. The show also takes a hard look at how Black lives and labor are devalued in sanitation and essential services through a segment called Flushed Away. We’ll reinforce that Solidarity Voting Is Non-Negotiable and close by examining The Great Unraveling—a powerful call to protect civil rights in the face of rising threats.
