Anti-Imperialist/Anti-Fascist/Anti-Racist Response to Ukraine Conflict

Nkechi Season 2 Episode 1

Human Rights and Justice host Nkechi Taifa interviews representatives of the Brooklyn in Justice Collective who discuss the organization's statement on the current crisis in Ukraine. The statement was issued and targeted largely to the Western left, "which has shown itself to be weak and underdeveloped compared to the rest of the world, and is at a crisis and crossroads." Brooklyn in Justice states "we hope this commentary on current world conflicts can suggest somewhat of a reorientation along broad, nonsectarian, and-white supremacist lines." 

Guests: Meg Starr, a founder of Resistance in Brooklyn and Puerto Rican solidarity activist who links anti-imperialist politics with the struggle against the climate crisis catastrophe. Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro, a member of Resistance in Brooklyn and Professor at the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies of SUNY New Paltz, and Senior editor for the journal Capitalism Nature Socialism.
