Myth: "What's Africa Got to do with Me?" PT. 2 (W/ Hood Communist)

Mar 30, 2021
01:10:09

In part 2, we interview the founding editors of Hood Communist (a collective of African revolutionary nationalists using journalism to advance the fight for African Liberation) about how capitalist propaganda distorts our connections to the African diaspora, Practical ways to make those connections, and the significance of joining an organization order to form a collective fight.

SN: At the time of the posting of this episode Hood Communist's Twitter account is suspended for an unexplainable reason despite them breaking no rules. We view this as broader censorship of Black anti-imperialists. To support the reactivation of their Twitter account please @Twitter with the hashtag #FreeHoodComminist. 

Erica Caines is a poet, writer, and organizer in Baltimore and the DMV. She is an organizing committee member of the anti-war coalition, the Black Alliance For Peace as well as an outreach member of the Black-centered Ujima People’s Progress Party. Caines founded Liberation Through Reading in 2017 as a way to provide Black children with books that represent them and created the extension, a book club entitled Liberation Through Reading BC, to strengthen political education online and in our communities.

Onyesonwu Chatoyer is an African woman marooned in the United States, organizing to defeat capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism. She is an organizer with the All-African People's Revolutionary Party and the All-African Women's Revolutionary Union.
