About this episode
This episode features interviews about the Prairieland trials and the experiences of the defendants and their supporters.
In this episode we feature two interviews regarding the Prairieland trials and defendants. The first interview is with two people from the support crew, made up of friends and family of the defendants. We talk about how things went down at the noise demo that led to these arrests, how the trial went and how everyone is holding up. The second interview is with Xavier de Janon, from the People's Law Collective, and the National Lawyers Guild. We speak with them in more detail about the charges, and the unprecedented way these cases are being dealt with in general. Please follow along with these cases and upcoming trials, as there is a lot more to come and they need all the support they can get!
