Visionary Warfare: Liberation Tech & Indigenous Power
On today’s episode of Hard Knock Radio, we bring you two powerful segments rooted in resistance, liberation, and visionary organizing.
We begin with Part 2 of Build and Fight Formula – Episode 5, hosted by Cooperation Jackson’s Kali Akuno and journalist Thandisizwe Chimurenga. They continue their deep-dive conversation with Blair Evans of Insight Focus, exploring how digital fabrication tools—like 3D printers and CNC machines—can empower communities to build what they need and own the means of production. Evans lays out a strategic framework for developing Fab Labs as community-run hubs for ecological healing, cooperative economies, and self-governance. Together, the trio pushes back on automation fears and reframes tech as a tool for liberation, not displacement. The mantra: “Fight for what you want now—or fight against what you don’t want later.”
In the second half, host Davey D speaks with long-time Oakland-based organizer George Galvis of CURYJ. Fresh off a transformative journey to South Dakota, Galvis reflects on his visit with Leonard Peltier, newly released after nearly 50 years of incarceration. Galvis recounts the spiritual and political power of sharing Sundance with Peltier—a reclaiming of Indigenous culture and faith in the face of ongoing repression. He draws historical links between Operation Wetback, ICE raids, and algorithmic surveillance while calling for modern-day underground railroads to protect vulnerable communities. “It’s war,” Galvis says. “But Peltier’s freedom shows—we can win.”
Don’t miss this episode. These are blueprints for survival and victory in the 21st century. Tune in. Build. Fight. Resist.
