We created this podcast in recognition that there are a number of podcasts for the American “left,” but many of them focus heavily on the organizing of social democrats, progressives, and liberal democrats. Aside from that, on the left we are always fighting a war of ideas and if we do not continue to build platforms to share those ideas and the stories of their implementation from a leftist perspective, they will continue to be ignored, misrepresented, and dismissed by the capitalist media and as a result by the general public. Our goal is to provide a platform for communists, anti-imperialists, Black Liberation movements, ancoms, left libertarians, LBGTQ activists, feminists, immigration activists, and abolitionists to discuss radical politics, radical organizing and share their visions for a better world.

episode 86: Special Message: On Being In Solidarity With Haiti Now With Mamyrah Prosper
This is a special message and brief addendum to our conversation published earlier this week with Dr. Mamyrah Prosper.
We had a great conversation with Mamyrah in which she gave a ton of history of US and European imperialism against Haiti. She also envisioned bolder and more direct forms of solidarity than our modern solidarity movements in the US currently deploy on a regular basis.
However, after we finalized the conversation, she did want to note that there things people are working on currently that can be supported, and forthcoming calls for solidarity organizing that people can tap into more immediately.
We’ll add this addendum to the end of our previous episode with Mamyrah, but we also wanted to release it as a special message since many of you had already hear that message. So here is our special message from Dr. Mamyrah Prosper on current solidarity work in support of the Haitian people.
If you would like to stay in touch with the Pan-African Solidarity Network from Community Movement Builders, fill out this form to get on their mailing list for actions and updates related to Haiti.
Also there is a sign-on letter circulation on Black Alliance for Peace's website, which is demanding that the United States, the United Nations and the Organization of American States end its illegal, colonial interventions into Haiti.
