These people on social media are saying the things they are saying to get likes and clout as a tactic to build their brands and open doors to paid endorsement of their content. For them its exactly what Malcolm also told us – “they say exactly what the white man wants them to say!” Those of who have been organizing on the streets for decades know better than this charade. . . .

Organizing to Free the Land with Kali Akuno
In this episode of Hood Communist Radio, I sat down with Kali Akuno, the founder of Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi. As someone that’s inspired by, and believes in the vision of the New African Independence Movement, I wanted to talk to Kali to hear about how that history influences the work of Cooperation Jackson. We talked about why African people must lead the movement for climate justice, and why it’s a mistake for us to dismiss the rise of the far right in the US as some sort of fringe moment in history. It’s all good stuff that everyone should hear, particularly those of us who are new to the concept of “Free The Land”. . . .
