Episode 19: Diversity of Tactics
The Kimberly Clark warehouse in Ontario, CA
Welcome to the 19th episode of WokeCast, now officially the longest running left wing podcast in American history!
Today's episode, though not originally intended to be, ended up as a potpourri of a handful of topics that all share the common thread of actions taken to fight fascism in all it's forms. A diversity of topics about a diversity of tactics.
We are proud to present our first live interview of the podcast! Zack, a representative of Jewish Voice for Peace, Rhode Island is here to chat about divestment initiatives making their way to ballots across the country and the rest of JVP's work, doing whatever they can to help the people of Palestine.
The cast chats about the recent incident involving Trump's pentagon threatening the Pope's U.S. envoy to fall in line. Then takes a look at recent protests and the ever changing demographics of protesters.
We look into the recent burning of a toilet paper factory in California by an employee, the working class lashing out. Finally, we discuss a series of murals going up around the country which seem innocuous, but are actually part of a right wing propaganda campaign, backed by billionaire money.
Thanks for coming back. When you're running a niche grass roots podcast like ours, you appreciate every listener!
