The People’s War Radio Show, Episode 12 “Fighting colonial violence, from Minneapolis to Atlanta”

Protests opposing police violence against the black community continue unabated in hundreds of U.S. cities and across the globe, even as coronavirus cases spike in many areas.

More killings of African people by police and white vigilantes are exposed almost daily. Calls for defunding the police and promises of reform are discussed in today’s show. What is the role of the police in black communities, historically and today?

This week the People’s War radio show talks with:

• Ms. Stephanie Gasca, Minneapolis activist and former City Council candidate and Metropolitan State University political science student.
• Dr. Jimmy Patino. Professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at the University of Minnesota.
• Kobina Bantushango, Southern regional organizer with the African People’s Socialist Party.  

Hosted by Dr. Matsemela Odom and Muambi Tangu, the weekly People’s War Radio Show features guests covering all aspects of the struggle against colonial violence, from COVID-19 to police occupation.
