James Roosevelt Jr. (National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare) / Larry Willis (TTD, AFL-CIO)

We were honored to have James Roosevelt Jr., grandson of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Vice-Chair of the Advisory Board for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare on AWF Union Podcast. Roosevelt spoke about his grandfather’s legacy, how the Trump administration was way more conservative than expected and the history of social security and the fight to protect it.

Our second featured guest today was Transportation Trades Department President Larry Willis. Willis discussed keeping transport workers safe while working on the frontlines during the pandemic and how a Biden presidency will benefit transport workers.
