Urgent Help For Activists in Colombia

EMERGENCY EPISODE! In this episode, we spoke to the Red Condor Collective to learn about the current situation in Colombia. As protestors throughout the country mobilized against the government’s recent neoliberal reforms, we have seen the Colombian government use repressive tactics to eliminate the possibility of a liberation movement. To understand how global capitalism and policing play a role in Colombia’s current circumstances, Juanes from the Red Condor Collective discusses the broader history of Colombia and introduces our listeners to new and important information.

Shut the F*ck Up & Listen to Sex Workers

In this episode, we get to sit down with a panel of sex workers and grassroots organizers (@adrierising, @prolepeach, @xoxoLaurenKiley, and @GemmaParadiseXO) to talk about decarceration of the sex industry and how idealism on the left produces harmful discourse that minimizes the material conditions of sex workers and erases their liberatory organizing.
