What’s Going Down? A look at the upcoming year of resisting the far-right & fascism in the USA

January 7, 2024 – On this episode of No Borders Media, we take a close look at US politics as we enter what will be a presidential election year. We explore the grassroots movements fighting for justice and dignity in the USA, and the disturbing continued normalization of far-right and fascist politics. To discuss these and other issues, No Borders Media speaks with It’s Going Down, an online community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements across North America. For more info about It’s Going Down, visit: https://itsgoingdown.org/ Some of the topics covered in this interview with It’s Going Down include - local struggles against police militarization, including the inspiring Stop Cop City campaign - Palestine solidarity actions and the weaponization of anti-Semitism, - the dual cost of living and housing crises - anti-prison and prisoner justice struggles - queer, trans and drag defence solidarity actions - the mainstream right-wing’s strategy to demonize migrants - and, not surprisingly, Trump, Biden, and the upcoming US election We start our broadcast with an appreciation of Indigenous anti-colonial warrior Klee Benally, who sadly passed on just before New Year’s Day. —-- No Borders Media will be broadcasting regularly this year.
