The Final Straw Radio

The Ovas Speak on Living and Fighting in LA


Listen Later

This week I had the chance to interview three people who organize with La Concha, which is an anarchist space in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles that does many projects such as prisoner solidarity, legal and popular education, reading groups, bike brigades, and lots else. We talk about their work, and how the three came to be doing what they are doing right now, and also about the incursions that they've been experiencing from authoritarian Communists in the area. I felt great getting to have this conversation with them and really energized to build where I'm at, but also to help build more bridges between places all over so we as anarchists can enrich and nuance each other's thinking and praxis.

Big thanks to the folks at Firestorm for putting TFS in touch with La Concha! Here's to many more colabs and for a furtherance of anarchist, Indigenous, and decolonial spaces.
