When I started this project, I thought I would just be collecting stories of what it was like to work in the gig economy.  I had no idea so much organizing was going on.  I kept hearing about protests in so many cities.  Nairobi.  Jakarta.  Sao Paolo.  Paris.  Toronto.  And other places.  And I started asking drivers why they felt driven to organize?  This episode features inspiring stories of drivers on four continents who took on Uber and other ride-hailing companies.  They share a vision of how gig workers can organize everywhere.
