While the fight for Puerto Rican liberation is often seen as seperate from the gun violence prevention movement, the Root Causes team and Marysol Fernandez-Harvey discuss the connections between colonialism and state santctioned violence to the fight to end gun violence in the United States.

Episode 4: Puerto Rico's Fight Against Colonialism and State Sanctioned Violence

Root Causes: a Not My Generation podcast was born out of the need for a national discussion on the different intersections of the fight to end gun violence (ie gendered, racial, and class oppression, etc). Root Causes attempts to bring about that discussion by highlighting the work of community organizers, academics, and political figures that are deeply involved in the fight to end gun violence and all forms of oppression that are linked to this form of violence. This podcast is created and produced by youth organizers for any and all.
