On today’s program, Vince speaks to one of the best organizers in Chicago, who also happens to be one of Vince’s best friends – Roberto Jesus, otherwise known as “Joliet Jake,” will be joining us for the hour. The conversation covers the anti-globalization movements of the 1990s, WTO protests, antiwar activism under Bush, Wisconsin, Occupy, Obama, and community organizing.
