“I do believe that this is the beginning of the next era of the labor movement—the modern labor movement,” Vice President Kamala Harris said last week. As the daughter of an activist mother who brought her along to join picket lines, and the product of San Francisco, Harris is remarkably informed and engaged with labor issues.

In an exclusive feature with The Nation, national affairs correspondent John Nichols spoke to her about her youth, why it’s so vital to eliminate barriers to organizing, and the PRO Act.
