Radio : EXD 1247 - Sunday, April 16, 2023

On this episode of Equalizing-X-Distort – a feature interview with some of the authors of a new book on Anti Racist Action called We Go Where They Go. We speak with Kristin Schwartz and Shannon Clay about ARA’s origin story. We focused on the Toronto chapter and how they took on various racist organization’s in the city which led to stories of shady autocrats and an attempt to turn a Caribbean island into a drug state to finance these racist countries a la Iran-Contra style. We talk about how resourceful ARA became as a grassroots organization. We talked about ARA’s legacy. All this in anticipation for their book launch on Thursday (April 20th). And there are a lot of anti-racist punk anthems mixed in with the interview.
