Natalie James on Why Labor & Palestine Are Queer Issues & Why the Left is Winning
 
Natalie James is a labor organizer with the United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 2320 (LSSA) who has been queering labor organizing and making labor rights a priority for the LGBT community for many years; she has also been active with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC DSA) and has been actively involved with a number of political campaigns, including the 2020 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, Zohran Mamdani's 2024 mayoral campaign and Darializa Avila Chevalier's 2026 campaign for the House of Representatives; she has also been working in a number of contexts to free Palestine from Apartheid Israel's illegal and genocidal occupation; she speaks with Out-FM's Pauline Park about why labor and Palestine are both queer issues and why candidates with radically progressive politics are winning Democratic primaries in New York and beyond.

Emmaia Gelman on the Anti-Defamation League

Emmaia Gelman on the Anti-Defamation League

Out-FM's Naomi Brussel and Pauline Park will interview Emmaia Gelman on Tuesday's show about her new book on the Anti-Defamation League in which she documents the ADL's long and shameful history of collaboration with the federal government and non-state right-wing forces working to suppress progressive Jewish, Arab and Black voices working for liberation; in the book, published by the University of California Press, Gelman amply documents the collusion between the ADL and the Zionist Jewish establishment in attempting to silence progressive anti-Zionist Jewish community members and organizations as well as ADL's central role in colluding with the FBI and successive presidential administrations in fueling the 'Red Scare' to make anti-communism a central locus for defining American patriotism and civil rights in a way that excluded the possibility of challenges to US empire as well as institutionalized racism and Zionism.
