13. Resistance Persistance

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of resisting fascism and features elders who are actively involved in protests against an ICE surveillance center.

Are you losing your ability to resist fascism? Is the thought of making another phone call or showing up at another demonstration feeling more like obligation than inspiration? In this episode we speak with elders who are putting their bodies on the line resisting an ICE surveillance center in Williston, VT and they tell us how to show up and take care of yourself when you can’t. Listen to “Resistance Persistence” and then share it with your comrades because we have to figure out ways to keep on keeping on.
