Chris smalls is one of the most impactful, and occasionally controversial, activists working today. Since he stepped down as president of the Amazon Labor Union in 2023, Smalls has joined the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza, been imprisoned and beaten by the Israeli military, and got back on the next aid flotilla to challenge Israel’s blockade all over again. He also joined the Nuestra América humanitarian mission to Cuba this March, and got arrested for protesting Jeff Bezos at the Met Gala earlier in May. In Havana, Smalls sat down with Current Affairs associate editor Alex Skopic to discuss his international activism, how people everywhere can unionize their jobs, and his new memoir When the Revolution Comes: A Fight for the Future of the Working Class, out now from Pantheon Books.
