  • People's History Podcast: "Grove Hall" (S1E2)
    As urban rebellions arise in cities, welfare rights advocates in Boston public housing use militant tactics to get services they are owed.
    This is episode two of the first season of a people's history podcast! "The Point: Rebellion and Resistance in Boston Public Housing" traces a social history of Boston from the urban rebellions of the 1960s, through busing in the 70s, into the Clinton era.
    We investigate these events from the lens of one community: Columbia Point, the largest public housing project in New England. Built on an isolated landfill site next to the Boston city dump, it was the site of major organizing, from welfare rights to a Free Breakfast for Children program. It was also the first public housing project to be sold off and redeveloped as private "mixed-income" development (and was a model for the federal policy "HOPE VI").

  • The Vast Majority: Ecological Politics for the Working Class with Matt Huber
    The Green New Deal is on the political agenda in the United States, and thank God for that. Can you imagine how depressing it would be to hear all of these climate reports from scientists around the world without the sense of hope and optimism that the GND has brought discussions of climate change?But how we go about fighting for a GND is crucial. Matt Huber argues in a recent essay in Catalyst that we need a class-struggle approach to fighting climate change. Workers hold more power than any other social group in society; without putting the working class at the center of a GND strategy, we're bound to lose.Matt Huber is a professor of geography at Syracuse University, and the author of 'LifeBlood: Oil, Freedom, and the Forces of Capital,' as well as a forthcoming book on class and climate politics from Verso. His essay "Ecological Politics for the Working Class" appears in the Spring 2019 edition of Catalyst. Read it here: https://catalyst-journal.com/vol3/no1/ecological-politics-for-the-working-class

  • The Dig: Colonialism in Puerto Rico with Yarimar Bonilla

    Maria hit Puerto Rico as austerity dismantled its social and material infrastructure. But as Yarimar Bonilla explains, these years also taught Puerto Ricans about their own collective power, fueling the summer’s mass movement that overthrew Governor Ricardo Rosselló.
