  • A Radical Podcast Ep. 9: Radical Community Building

    In this episode of A Radical Podcast, host Jason Bayless takes listeners deep dive into the transformative concept of 'Radical Community Building.' We explore its historical roots, the challenges faced; the triumphs celebrated, and its vital role in today's society. We demonstrate the power and necessity of collective action in confronting systemic injustices such as economic disparity, environmental destruction, and oppression.

    Our 'Anarchists and Radical News' segment highlights the Mutual Aid Acupuncture Collective based in Portland, Oregon, showcasing their remarkable commitment to shared power, equity, and mutual responsibility principles. This collective, born amidst the uprising for Black lives and matured through the pandemic, aspires to create a model for this type of mutual aid work that can be replicated elsewhere.

    For the 'Updates about A Radical Guide' segment, we focus on the West Oakland Mural House, a vibrant testament to the legacy of the Black Panther Party and an extraordinary example of radical community building in action. The mural, honoring the women of the Black Panther Party, has quickly become a powerful centerpiece of this community, serving as a destination for meeting, gathering, remembering, and looking forward with hope and determination.

    Packed with inspiring stories, practical wisdom, and actionable insights, this episode invites you to rethink, reshape, and radicalize your approach to community.

  • A Radical Podcast Ep 5: From Evictions to Anti-Fascism

    In this episode of "A Radical Podcast," we explore anarchism's role in the anti-fascist movement, discuss the ongoing home evictions crisis, and spotlight the autonomous town of Barbacha in Algeria. Join host Jason Bayless as we delve into these critical topics and celebrate the resilience and determination of activists worldwide.

    Update: 8/12/2023:
    Dear listeners,
    In this episode, I used the term "Berber" to refer to a group of people indigenous to North Africa. I have since learned from one of our engaged and thoughtful listeners that this term can be seen as derogatory. The term originated from the Greeks and has been historically associated with a negative connotation.
    I want to take a moment to acknowledge my mistake and clarify that it came from a limitation in my knowledge rather than a lack of respect. I'm grateful for the listener who educated me on the proper terms: "Amazigh" for singular masculine, "Tamazight" for singular feminine, and "Imazighen" for the plural form. In future episodes, and the spirit of our values, I will use the proper terms when referring to the Amazigh people.
    With sincerity and solidarity,
    Jason Bayless
