BlackOUT Collective is a radical full service direct action organization. We build organizations’ capacity to execute creative and effective direct actions in service of their organizing and advocacy work. We do this through providing personalized direct action trainings and on the ground action support. We see ourselves as a “Liberation Lab"- a container for experimentation, deep space visioning and learning. The BlackOUT Collective’s mission is to train 10,000 black people in the next 4 years to be direct action practitioners and strategist through campaign, abolitionist and rapid response frameworks. Given BlackOUT Collective’s analysis of the strengths and needs in the field, the expertise in our team and our theory of change, Blackout collective’s goals are: - Strengthen and support individual leaders and organizers to build the skills, expertise, confidence and capacity to executive effective direct action - Work closely with local organizing organizations to integrate direct action strategies into their existing campaign strategies and frameworks - Build potential leaders ability to leverage strategic direct action for winnable demands, nurture budding community organizers, and create lasting community power - Build solidarity and alliances with communities invested in ending anti-Blackness – specifically Asian, Latino and Indigenous Communities. - Uplift direct actions happening across the country and share with leaders” DOWNLOAD RECORDING subscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun (intro by omar) gorgeous bully “in my defence” great blue TENDER CRUNCHER “HANGIN’” HELL YANG father truck “sleep on me” stealing flowers from the neighbor’s lawn New Balance “Nebraska” Our Heads Often Used To Swim Lunatics On Pogosticks “Breakaway” Leave Your Dishes In The Sink, They’ll Still Be There In The Morning blacberries “the yellow flowers by the side of the highway” moss and dawn Macula Dog “Plastic Lassie” Natural Dog EP cop graveyard “child of a” tiki torch rage Rainbow Vomit Family Band “BABY” THE RAINBOW VOMIT FAMILY BAND PLAYS AND SINGS THE PATRICK ELKINS SONGBOOK NEO NEOS “Tanya The Evil” GET THE NEO NEOS warm trash “deep treatment” lowered volume Amor en la isla “I don’t wanna be no longer with you” Trashy Feelings Feed Dogs “Wallpaper” Bless This Mess ratbath “to be dead” to be Country Death “Nobody Asking Me” God is Black on Black Crimes “Kill a Klansmen” Black on Black Crimes Demo EP M.
