Race, Feminism, Capitalism- oh my! 

[warning: explicit language used in podcast series, including this episode conversation]

Host Mahlet Aschenaki and podcast manager Asha Thanki join Freedom, Inc.’s Co-Executive Directors, Kabzuag Vaj and M. Adams, to talk about their work at the intersection of gender justice, queer justice, and Black and Southeast Asian Liberation.

We dive into the history of Freedom, Inc., and how it’s evolved from a Southeast Asian focus to one bridging Southeast Asian and Black youth, queer folks, and low- to no-income communities. M. explains the necessary integration of a labor lens to justice organizing while Kabzuag recounts her interactions with members of her community around the murder of George Floyd and their property-focused response. You don’t want to miss this one!

    Green Card Voices is based in the Twin Cities, and, after the police murder of George Floyd, we are pivoting our platform to elevate Black voices and direct our listeners toward resources and actions they can take today to benefit the movement for Black liberation. Throughout this series, we highlight the work of local organizers while addressing how different immigrant and cultural communities can better align with the movement to take actions beyond a performative allyship and better act in solidarity with our Black communities.
