Adrienne
In this episode, we talk to Adrienne, a teacher in Michigan, single mother of three, and a grievance officer in her local union. We talk about many facets of Adrienne's remarkable life, including growing up in cooperative housing in Lansing, and the the tragic death of her brother, Jamie, which shaped Adrienne's decision to become a teacher. We talk about her union work and about the fight for social and economic justice in the workplace and beyond. (All music sourced from the Free Music archive)
