In this special episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we present an audio recording from the recent Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair in so-called Asheville, North Carolina in August, 2023. The recording features a conversation with author and activist, William C Anderson and JoNina and Lorenzo Ervin, two longtime anarchist organizers who have been directly involved in the historic civil rights movement and proceeding Black liberation struggles.

From the bookfair’s website:

A discussion of using dual power to engage in widespread sabotage against the corporate state in order to fight fascism. JoNina and Lorenzo are two anarchist ex-Black Panthers. Between them they have 70 years of political activity spanning lives that have included everything from teaching at a revolutionary community school to hijacking a plane and taking it to Cuba. Both are now involved in the Black Autonomy Network of Community Organizers.
