“It’s Time to Punch Up” with Scott Davis

About this episode

Byron and co-hosts discuss with Scott Davis the work of Punch-up and the importance of storytelling in social movements.

In this episode of The Loom, Byron and co-hosts Raven and Gregory are joined by Scott Davis. Scott is a founding member of an organization called Punch-up, which is “building a home where poor and working white men from across the country join in the work for freedom and justice for all.” Scott also hosts Punch-up’s Youtube show, “Dishonor,” which centers the stories of poor and working class folks who are defending their communities against quasi-legal mugging by modern day robber-barons. We have a great conversation about false binaries like Red vs. Blue; urgency vs. endurance; and the power of language and story-telling and story-listening in movement building.
