Eleanor Goldfield hosts this week’s program. Her first guest , Morgan Artyukhina, examines the recent flurry of legislation directed against transgender people, and places these attacks in the context of social class. Then in the second half of the show, long-time community organizer Kamau Franklin recounts some of the history of Black resistance to oppression, and explains why a successful organizing campaign must combine both practical accomplishments and political education.
Morgan Artyukhina is a Washington DC-based journalist who has written for Mint Press News, Liberation News, Sputnik News and other outlets.
