This episode is an interview with the organizers of POP Gym, a radical project that offers free classes for fitness, self-defense, and self care with the motto of "Strength in Ourselves, Strength in Our Communities". We discuss the concept of self defense, what sets POP Gym apart from other spaces that offer self defense training, fat shaming in the vegan community, non-intersectional moments in A.R. protests, their awesome Riot Don't Diet merch, and much more! 

To learn more about POP Gym, find a slew of comprehensive self-defense resources + some super fun gifs, and to order their amazing zines and other merch, visit popgym.org.
