WWR Episode 3 - Joel of the (former) Avelo Airlines Boycott

We have begun yet another week, and it is time once again for yet another episode dropping tomorrow! (We’ll see how long my executive dysfunction allows me to maintain a weekly release schedule) This week we spoke with Joel, of our local chapter of Democratice Socialists of America, who headed up the (now former) Avelo Airlines boycott! While this week has been a somber one, it was nice to celebrate a small victory. Joel is super knowledgeable on the topic of Avelo and its history of conducting deportation flights, I feel like I learned a lot and you will too!
