Gentrification and Policing Apr 28, 2017

Show notes

D'Shawn Cunningham is a long time activist and current city council candidate for Omaha's District 3. Brett sits down with him to discuss the nuances and complexities of gentrification, including who it benefits and how to organize against it. They also discuss its relationship to policing and D'Shawn's activism around police reform.

A fascinating episode on two topics that D'Shawn is uniquely qualified to speak about.

Resistance in the 60s with Dr. Doug Paterson Apr 10, 2017

Show notes

Doug Paterson is a lifelong revolutionary who has been active as an organizer and agitator since the 1960s. He is an absolute fountain of wisdom and experience. Brett sits down with Doug to discuss theater-as-resistance, campus activism in the 60s, fighting cops in the streets, the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War, draft dodging, parallels between the 60's and today, how to reach out to (and organize in) rural areas, and the continued relevance of Karl Marx in today's world.

Anyone who is an activist/organizer today has plenty to learn from Doug, he is deeply knowledgeable, perpetually engaged, and truly fascinating. Do yourself a favor and listen to this episode, you won't regret it!

Intersectionality: Identity Politics and Class Consciousness. Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

Brett sits down with two university professors of sociology and a masters candidate in sociology to discuss the issues of intersectionality, the weaknesses of class-less identity politics and of class reductionism, the influence of Karl Marx on the field of sociology, Malcolm X and MLK, the relationship between power structures and identity, segregation and racism in Omaha, and how we can move forward as a global movement (and as individuals) fighting for liberation from all forms of oppression.
