This week is the 73rd anniversary of the U.S. coup in Iran. In our latest, we give a background on the geopolitics of the Cold War, U.S.-Soviet tension in Iran after World War Two, the politics of oil, and how it played into the overthrow of democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. We discuss the current war in Iran and how this coup d'etat was the first action that led us to this moment. We also discussed the passing of both American academic Ward Churchill and of British academic Jason Arday, and how the cravenness of liberal university administrators destroyed their careers. ------------------ Outro// "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Links G&R: Is the Iran War over?

  Episode #520

  Legendary Organizer Joe Uehlein on the "Three Roads" of Labor, Climate and Music (G&R 520)

  Aug 18, 20261h 8mS1

  Don't like liberal media attacks on the Left? Then support independent media channels like the Green and Red Podcast at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast or https://greenandredpodcast.org/donate-to-green-and-red/. After decades organizing from within the labor establishment, Joe Uehlein realized that winning real climate and economic justice meant moving beyond the limits of traditional labor and environmentalism. As former secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO’s Industrial Division and director of the AFL-CIO's Center for Strategic Campaigns, Joe fought from the inside. But in 2005, he stepped away from the AFL-CIO to found the Labor Network for Sustainability, forging deep alliances between labor, climate, and environmental movements. His vision: transform the labor movement to embrace ecological responsibility—and environmentalism to uplift working-class solidarity. But Joe’s work has never been confined to boardrooms or picket lines. With a guitar in hand, he’s shared stages with Pete Seeger and Tom Morello, turning songs into rallying cries and stories into tools for resistance. In our latest, we're excited to talk with legendary labor and climate organizer Joe Uehlein (@joeuehlein) about his new memoir that details his life's work of labor organizing, climate organizing and music. Guest bio// Joe Uehlein is a labor organizer, musician, and climate activist. He is the founder of the Labor Network for Sustainability and author of the recent memoir, "Three Roads Labor, Music, Ecology." ------------------ Outro// "You Can't Giddyup By Saying Whoa" by Joe Uehlein Links Joe's Website: https://joeuehlein.com/ Three Roads: Labor, Music, Ecology (https://bit.ly/3Ui2cYt) Support the Green and Red Podcast Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast ☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR ️ Follow Green and Red Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org Our Networks Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org ✊ Worker Power Radio: https://workerpowerradio.ismyradio.com/ A Green and Red Podcast production ‍ Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969) ✂️ Edited by Scott Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.
