Steve Babson, THE FORGOTTEN POPULISTS & Lesléa Newman, ALWAYS MATT: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard
<p>Champions of Democracy: The Populist Movement of the 1890s</p><p>Join us as we explore the transformative impact of the Populist movement during the 1890s. </p><p>In this episode, we delve into the story of hard-pressed farmers and workers who sparked a movement that reshaped the nation's political landscape. In his book <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forgottenpopulists.com"><strong><em>The Forgotten Populists</em></strong></a><strong><em>:When Farmers Turned Left to Save Democracy</em></strong>, author Steve Babson reveals the historical roots of progressive change and the relevance of this movement to contemporary struggles against corporate profiteering and right-wing authoritarians.</p><p>About The Author</p><p>Steve Babson is a labor educator and union activist. He’s published seven books, including <em>Working Detroit: The Making of a Union Town</em>; <em>Lean Work: Empowerment and Exploitation in the Global Auto Industry</em>; and <em>The Color of Law: Ernie Goodman and the Struggle for Labor and Civil Rights in Detroit</em>.</p><p>The Enduring Legacy of Matthew Shepard</p><p><em>Heather Has Two Mommies</em> author <a target="_blank" href="https://lesleanewman.com">Lesléa Newman</a> reflects on the 25th anniversary of Matt Shepard's murder as a pivotal moment for LGBTQ rights. Despite significant progress over the past quarter century, she notes the frightening backlash from rightwing hate groups threatening these gains. </p><p>Newman commemorates Shepard's legacy in her new book, <strong><em>Always Matt</em></strong>, emphasizing his aspiration to, as he said, “create a better, kinder, and more peaceful world for everyone.” </p><p>In this episode, we discover who Matthew Shepard was as a person, not just a victim, and why advocating for LGBTQ rights remains so important for all of us.</p><p><p>Thank you for reading Francesca’s Substack.
