Hightower Chat & Chew with Eric Hall and Lauren Kaori Gurley

On Tuesday's Chat & Chew, Hightower will speak with Eric Hall, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Birmingham-- BLM has been leading community support for the union drive-- and Lauren Kaori Gurley, a staff writer at Vice who has covered Amazon and unions in the US extensively.
