About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of solidarity and organizing across races and classes, featuring insights from Beth Howard's memoir on her experiences as an Appalachian organizer.
The need for cross race, cross class organizing and solidarity is more important now than ever. Listen as Aaron and Damien AND special guest Beth Howard discuss the book Song for a Hard-Hit People: A Memoir of Antiracist Solidarity from a Coal Miner’s Daughter by Beth Howard (and published by Haymarket Books), which shares an Appalachian organizer’s personal and professional experiences from childhood to adulthood, critical lessons about solidarity, justice, organizing, strategy, and collective liberation, and the importance and impact of the fight and freedom struggle in the Appalachian region for all of us, and what we learn and take away from this incredible book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation. A huge thank you to Beth Howard (bethhowardky.com) from Showing Up for Racial Justice for joining us in this conversation! Follow us on social media and visit our website! Patreon , …
