  • Episode 25: Haunani-Kay Trask speaks at the ’Onipa’a event at ‘Iolani Palace, Honolulu, on January 17, 1993
    May 16 2023

    Welcome to another episode of the Comrades Classroom Podcast! We are finally back.  Our team has been hard at work trying to keep our two core programs running. In this episode, we listen to a speech from Haunani Kay Trask, a scholar poet, and champion of sovereignty for the Hawaiian people. Her life's work was dedicated to the liberation and self-determination of the Indigenous people of Hawaii.

    This month, our curriculum is centered around her best-known book, "Notes from a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawaii." We thought it would be fitting to study her, best-known speech which she gave at the 'lolani palace in Honolulu on January 17th, 1993, which was the centennial of the illegal, overthrow of the Hawaiian people.

    If you fuck with the work that we do and you want to help us keep our programs running, there are $1, $5, and $20 dollar donation levels on our Patreon, which is crucial to our core programs. Joining and sharing is the best way to help us keep our programs stable for the long term. Everything for everyone. Nothing for ourselves. Free the land.

  • (Book Launch Replay) Atmospheres of Violence: Structuring Antagonism and the Trans/Queer Ungovernable
    Jun 30 2022

    Welcome back to another episode of the Comrades' Classroom podcast. This month, our community took time to study concepts and frameworks that have emerged out of queer the liberation movement and especially those that are grounded in the revolutionary tradition of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.

    On this episode, we play back a brilliant book launch of Eric A. Stanley's book Atmospheres of Violence: Structuring Antagonism and the Trans/Queer Ungovernable. The discussion was put on by the Othering and Belonging Institute and you can find the full video on youtube through this link. We are asking our listeners to show support for this episode by donating to the LGBTQ Books to Prisoners program. Thank you for your support! Everything for everyone, nothing for ourselves. Free the land!

  • A Conversation with the OC Rapid Response Network
    Apr 3 2022
    On this episode, we sit down with members of the Orange County Rapid Response Network (OCRRN). OCRRN is an interconnected system of non-profit and grassroots organizations, civil rights attorneys, law school clinics, and individuals working together to respond to dehumanizing immigration enforcement activities and policies in Orange County. Throughout the discussion, we talk about the purpose of their organization and we also talk about why it's necessary to connect immigration issues to the larger systems of power like carcerality, criminalization, and the broader US Prison Regime that's rooted in racial capitalism. If you would like to support the OC Rapid Response Network as a volunteer or donor, please visit their website ocrapidresponse.org. If you are looking for support in a legal case or you need to report ICE or Police Activity in your neighborhood please call their hotline at 714-881-1558.
