Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

As our #WomensHistoryMonth series comes to a close we celebrate organizing women in Appalachia. In this episode, we bring you voices of women on strike today, and voices of women from strikes past. We’ll hear from West Virginia teachers who walked out earlier this month demanding a pay raise and affordable healthcare for all public employees, and we’ll hear from teachers in Letcher County, KY who protested Governor Bevin’s proposed pension reform bill just last week. And finally, from the Appalshop archives we bring you audio of women in Brookside KY who supported miners on strike in Harlan County in 1973.
