Whether it has been organizing for our fast food workers to get Fair Pay, or working with Teachers who are not paid justly either, there is no doubt that Dante Strobino is a major force in this time.. At a time when those in the Right are trying to Paint Progressives in a negative nature, Dante is not having it at all and is continuing the struggle.  This new Father of one has been involved on the ground level with a lot of struggles locally, and is also  a pretty decent musician as well...Strobino  has contributed many articles to Workers World, the official newspaper of the Workers' World Party (WWP) and is the field Organizer, United Electrical Workers Local 150.  There is no doubt that Strobino has done a lot of work to help build unions among university workers, mental health workers, state transportation workers, office workers, food service workers and municipal workers.”  We look forward to this powerful conversation...Have known Dante since Occupy Days and probably even before then and know he is one that is here to support and aid the Working Class of America...Also joining us was Dawn Flaig Helmrich, a Sexual Abuse Survivor and Denim Day proponent from Milwaukee, who talked about Victim Blaming, Sexual Abuse Statistics, Coping Methods, and much more...And, we also had Kyle Solomon who talked about his company as well as cryptocurrency and keeping people accountable.And Dusty Staub who talked about his leadership organization and making people accountable and acts of courage as well as being bullied as a youth......Once again more interesting conversation......

Aimed at stopping harassment of women at live music gigs, Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich has said of the project: “We have a platform now where people listen to us so we want to give back to other people who don’t have a stage to speak on.”
