Alyssa Pariah recounts her difficult childhood in New Jersey, her involvement in trans women of color and sex worker communities in New York, and her radicalization as a revolutionary socialist. She became involved in Occupy Wall Street, then later joining the Black Lives Matter movement and a socialist organization in Portland Oregon. She shares her critique of nonprofit activists unwilling to engage in militant direct action, her passionate hatred of capitalism, and her yearning for a more radical, trans-inclusive mass poor people's movement.
