Rocky Mountain Worker's Party

RMWP hits the streets in Jackson Hole to take the pulse of the protesters (and one street "preacher").

Joni is a Teton County based activist and organizer. She had her birth as an organizer in response to the October 7th attacks. We unpack her youth attending a Jewish Zionist school, sustainability with activism, Flock, and how she maintains hope that the class-based method of change can work in Wyoming.
