Host Taylor shares an extra-long final episode of the 2020 season featuring many, many voices and a lot of gratitude for everyone who helped bring this project to life after many years.

In the first section of the show, we hear posthumously from Richard Stone, a long time member of the social justice community in Fresno, CA, a writer, a powerhouse volunteer, a partner, and a friend to many.

The latter part of the show includes partial interviews–some from 2015 and some from 2020 with the following folks (in order of appearance):

John Zerzan, in Eugene, OR;

David Barsamian, in Boulder, CO;

Michelle Gabrieloff-Parish, in Boulder, CO;

Billy, Christopher, and Kori, in Detroit, MI;

and members of the Kentucky Workers League, in Lexington, KY.

They share a diversity of backgrounds, approaches to change and ideologies–a diversity I’ve always strived to include in this show. I so appreciate all of them, and hope that you will return to the archive as it grows this year to hear their full stories, along with those of many others not featured this year.

This show is part of a series running through the end of 2020, new episodes published weekly, in which I revisit interviews taken during a radio show road trip in the summer of 2015—checking back in with those activists, organizers and artists I met to see how their lives and work have adapted to changing times. You can find more information about that project at praxisradio.com/praxis.

Host Taylor shares an interview with Arturo Hernandez Garcia from July 2015, on his last day living in sanctuary at the First Unitarian Church in Denver, CO. He shares his story of living for years in the U.S. and raising a family here before being threatened with deportation under Obama. In the years since this conversation, he had been targeted again by ICE and clearly cannot be reached now for a follow up for this show. Instead, we return to Jennifer Piper, who in 2015 interpreted the interview with Arturo. She was then working with the sanctuary movement in Denver and she now continues other work supporting immigrant rights with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC).

In the final part of the show, Taylor talks with Arnie Carter, one of the team of volunteers who have worked in solidarity with immigrant leaders in Colorado in the sanctuary movement, and a member of the First Unitarian Church where Arturo was staying in 2015. Discussions include history of immigration policy through the most recent U.S. administrations, advice for activists hoping to support the movement under Biden, personal stories, ways to be part of the immigrant rights movement where you live, and more.

Host Taylor interviews Feral–writer, editor, and lifelong anarchist–about her work both in the anarchist creative scenes of Quebec and as a writer of dystopian fiction. Discussion includes historical perspective comparing the movements of the 1960s to the present, the fusion of big tech with the state and other private interests, the hope of building alternative communities, and more.
