John Edwards made another appearance with the striking WGA on Tuesday in New York’s Washington Square Park, joining writers and actors in their struggle against corporations and media conglomerates.

This is the second time Edwards spoke on behalf of the WGA (earlier this month he joined them in LA). Between the WGA and the Broadway stagehands strike it looks like labor is making it’s way back into the mainstream. Speaking of which, there is a great new documentary out about the radical folk-singer, labor supporter Pete Seeger called Pete Seeger : The Power of Song that focuses on his work uniting folks with his music and the troubles he faced because of involvement with the labor movement and the communist party.
