Trump versus local autonomy: the case of DC / Western fashions, global-South sweatshops
Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield co-host this week’s program.
For the first half-hour, Eleanor looks at Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops on the streets of Washington, DC, and his attempt to take over the District’s local police department. Eleanor’s guest is long-time DC community organizer Natacia Kanpper.
[Note: their interview about this rapidly-changing story was recorded on August 18.]
Then, how Western fashion generates sweatshop conditions and extreme working hours at clothing factories in China, Bangladesh, and the other low-wage nations where manufacturers locate. Mickey speaks with Project Censored intern Jayden Henry, who did a report on this issue.
Natacia Knapper has 15 years experience in community organizing in the District of Columbia, and is currently working with Ward 1 Mutual Aid, the Migrant Families’ Collective, and other organizations.
Jayden Henry is a student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, studying history and political science. He also hosts a talk show (“I Want to Tell You Something”) on the campus radio station, WRVU.
