“This is a movement that is not going to stop,” says filmmaker Michael Moore of the uprising in Madison, Wisconsin (and across the country—all 50 states held solidarity rallies this weekend). “I knew sooner or later people would say they’ve had enough.”

Michael joins Laura in studio for part one of a two-part conversation about the war on working people in America.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We still need to raise $14,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
