Every American leftist should see this documentary on Harlan Kentucky, 1976. Less than 50 years ago, the βbackwoods rural peopleβ were anti-corporate trade unionist. The right attacked Unions hard while Democrats pivoted away from materialist taking points. We can retake this demographic.

Esther was eager to try online dating after her painful divorce. Her sister warned her to be cautious, but when Esther saw Harlan's profile, she threw caution to the wind. He was handsome, a military man, owned his own business...yes, Kentucky was far away. But thatβs what wings were for.

I am not from Kentucky; I live in Rhode Island. Is there anything I can do to show my support for or stand in solidarity with the Harlan coal miners?
The abuse of vulnerable, working class individuals is a heinous epidemic, and one not unique to Kentucky. All across America, workers just trying to support their families are taken advantage of by lying corporate snakes. We are stronger when we stand together, through blue grass and ocean tides, and my hat goes off to these miners who have had the courage to take a stand and fight for the basic human decency they deserve.
How can I help?
