NOTE: In this episode, we talked about how Camden, NJ might be an example of what police abolition could look like. A comrade sent us an article pointing out some pretty big problems with it. In the interest of being both ideologically consistent and transparent with our resources, we wanted to share it here: https://theappeal.org/camden-police-george-floyd/
A number of Charleston DSA members have been involved with protests over the past few weeks in various capacities. In this episode, we talk with a couple of new members who were on the ground during some of the protests over the past few weeks. They share their reasons behind joining the local DSA chapter, their stories about what the mood was like marching down King Street, how the Charleston rebellion is similar to and different from other actions happening around the country, and try to imagine what might happen next as the struggle continues.
Black lives matter. Defund the police. Socialism will win.
