Solidarity House Cooperative

Our guest is Shane DeLeon of the Billings, Montana-based pop band Miss Massive Snowflake. He's the founder of Kirk's Grocery Music venue and recording studio. Then, comrades discuss the commune's transition to car-sharing and electric vehicle inclusion--and how you can help.

Content Warning: discussions of abortion, unsafe abortion, discrimination, and death. Felix discusses herbalism and the tough subject of herbal abortifacients--their dangers, and safer alternatives.

We kick off our new Solidarity Music & Art series by speaking with Alex Soveroski, owner of Laramie underground venue The Greenhouse, a key venue for the local music scene. We hope you enjoy the new series! 

There are big decisions coming up at Solidarity Collective--we need to re-finance, sell, or otherwise modify arrangements about the commune property this year. Angel, Damian, Aunty Fa and Matt have a discussion about the big and small questions involved in keeping the commune going. The opening music includes words written by Laura Marx about French harassment of leftists in the immediate wake of the Paris Commune. You can find her entire account at https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/bio/family/jenny/1871-fr.htm

Angel & AuntyFa discuss the ongoing fight for Medicaid Expansion in Wyoming. 

Derek is heading back home to help out his family. Here he reflects on what made him want to join Solidarity Collective, his political values, how the commune is working and not working, and what he'll miss (spoiler alert: it's tending the chickens). A poignant and bittersweet discussion with an extremely tall comrade.

We discuss the ethos, safety considerations, and etiquette of dumpster diving, and what it was like for some members to be quarantined at the commune with a case of Covid-19.
