In this episode Josh was joined by special co-host Noah Tesfaye and they interviewed several organizers from Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) who have been organizing solidarity encampments this spring. This interview took place about a month ago, so the events they describe are not reflections of the most current activity on their campuses, but nonetheless this conversation is a useful look into the organizing going on in student encampments across the country.
We also hosted livestreams recently with organizers at UCLA and Cornell, as well as multiple scholars who have faced repression or arrests for their involvement with organizing on their campuses.
Thanks to Josh and Noah for hosting this conversation and to Seth Gunter for work editing this episode.
If you like the work that we do please become a patron of the show, even if just a small annual or monthly contribution. Recently we've had more people lowering their support or cancelling than we've had people signing up. So first of all just a shout-out to everyone who supports our work and makes it possible, but secondly we are trying to increase the amount of audio content we're releasing again which has led us to expanding the number of people we're working with as guest hosts and audio editors. And we would like to have the resources to also pay these folks for their work and continue to make some equipment upgrades. This week Noah and I will be out at a conference on the life's work of Cedric Robinson and we hope to capture some good audio and video content while we're out there as well that we can share with you all.
