Jim Keady is running for New Jersey’s 4th CD and was recently interviewed on The Jimmy Dore Show. Jimmy Dore introduces Keady as an “educator, former city council member, and activist”
I’m begging you, daring you really, watch the first 2 minutes of this video and see if you can stop at that, or, if like the video Nike Sweatshops: Behind the Swoosh about Jim Keady going up against Nike, this too doesn’t become a video you watch over and over.
Jim Keady was working as an assistant coach for the men’s soccer team at St. Johns University in New York and at the time the team was the NCAA defending champion; the best team in the country. He was also studying theology and writing a paper on Nike’s labour practices. Go ahead, watch the first 2 minutes, I’ll wait...
Jimmy Dore said that Jim Keady first came across his radar when Keady became famous for standing up to Governor Chris Christie. Christie was sitting on federal funds instead of making them available to the people of New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy.
The protestor responds:
Jim Keady has some interesting friends too:
To get a nice overall picture of who Jim Keady is go to the public image library here at Daily Kos and look at the pictures he has uploaded. He’s got friends all over the world. I’m a strong supporter and I hope you'll join me. We need guys like Jim Keady in Congress. Hell, we need a whole team of them!
