Sarah Jaffe

Sarah Jaffe is a writer and reporter living in London and on the road. She is the author of Work Won't Love You Back, Necessary Trouble and From the Ashes.

Her journalism covers the politics of power, from the workplace to the streets, and her work has featured in the New York Times, Financial Times, Guardian, Baffler, Washington Post and New York Review of Books among many others. She is a columnist at The Progressive and a contributing writer at In These Times. She also co-hosts the Belabored podcast, with Michelle Chen, covering today's labour movement, and Heart Reacts, with Craig Gent, an advice podcast for the collapse of late capitalism.

Sarah has been a waitress, a bicycle mechanic, and a social media consultant, cleaned up trash and scooped ice cream and explained Soviet communism to middle schoolers. Journalism pays better than some of these.
