John Tarleton, Editor-in-Chief of the Indypendent newspaper interviews:
—Linda Martín Alcoff, a professor of philosophy at CUNY’s Hunter College, long-time writer for the Indypendent and the author of numerous books including “The Future of Whiteness” and “Rape and Resistance.” They talk about the Capitol insurrection, a second failed impeachment of Donald Trump and where we go from here.
—Shawné Lee, daughter of "Mama" Joy Chatel, who lived in and fought to protect the "Truesdell House," a relic of the underground railroad's presence in Brooklyn. After years of community efforts, the Landmarks and Preservation Commission of New York City just announced its plans to confer historic landmark status to the house, also known as 227 Duffield Street and 227 Abolitionist Place.
—Peter Rickman, who was an officer in the grad student union at the University of Wisconsin, playing a key role in organizing the Wisconsin Capitol occupation of 2011. Ten years later, John and Peter reflect on the public sector labor unionists and their supporters taking over the Wisconsin State Capitol Building in protest of Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s push to strip Wisconsin public sector workers of their collective bargaining rights.
