Elandria Williams and the Rev. Carlton E. Smith with the Black Lives of UU organizing collective are back on The VUU! We talk about shifting organizing strategies to meet the reality of a non-petitionable government regime and the need to protect and defend (in literal ways) the most targeted while still keeping our intersectionality grounded in this moment.

Training/resources mentioned in this episode:

– The Highlander Center
– Catalyst Project
– CultureStrike
– The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond
– Beautiful Solutions
– Safety Pin Box
