White Men for Collective Liberation Podcast

On this episode of the White Men for Collective Liberation Podcast we are offering you an interview with Scott Davis, co-founder of Punch-Up. This interview was recorded in Oct 2025 for Byron’s other podcast, Byron’s Loom - Weaving Relationships Through Braver Conversations.

More about Scott:

Scott Davis is a journeyman mason – bricks and mortar, not secret handshakes. He’s been in construction for over 35 years and now calls Northern New Mexico home. He’s spent more than his fair share of time sleeping under bridges and on park benches, but also was able to build a home and raise a family. Scott was one of the first to have the house he built with his own hands, taken from him during the 2008 financial crash. That same year the CEO of the bank made over 13.8 million dollars.

When he was at rock bottom, folks who had no reason to even give him the time of day – mostly Native women and elders – helped him get back on his feet. Their love and kindness taught him that other working people have his back, even if they don’t look like him or speak the same language as him. Scott is still in construction, but also works as a resource trainer for A Call To Men and is co-founder of Punch Up. At Punch Up, he acts as spokesperson and hosts the show Dishonor, which focuses on specific f*****s profiting off the suffering of others, and the working people who are both being impacted and fighting back.

In Northern New Mexico, he’s bringing an old adobe house back to life for his family and looking forward to finally planting a crop of red chili there.

In the intro to this episode, we refer to the warnings coming from some AI company insiders who believe there’s a reasonable chance AI will kill all the humans. We suggest remaining skeptical. Many experts believe this doomerism is distracting us from AI’s real and present risks. Here are some resources to check out:

On this episode of the White Men for Collective Liberation Podcast, Steve and Gregory are excited to welcome Chris Crass as our guest. Chris is a longtime organizer, educator, and writer working to build powerful working-class-based, feminist, multiracial movements for collective liberation. He is the author of two books. Towards the “Other America:” Anti-Racist Resources for White People Taking Action for Black Lives Matter, and Towards Collective Liberation: Anti-Racist Organizing, Feminist Praxis, and Movement Building Strategy.

Chris co-founded the Catalyst Project, where he was the co-director for more than a decade. The Catalyst Project combines political education and organizing support to develop and support anti-racist politics, leadership, and organizing in white communities.

He joined with white anti-racist leaders around the country to help launch the national anti-racist network Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). And in 2019 he joined other white anti-racist men to help launch Organizing White Men for Collective Liberation.

Chris currently works with the Perennial Sunflower Project to help build up a growing national ecosystem of leaders, organizations, and efforts to organize white men for racial, gender, and economic justice.
