In this midweek special, we’re sharing a recent chat with Juan of Casa Carmelita to talk about Camp O:Shad about the tree sit and defense of the landscape around Tohono O’odham land around Lochiel Arizona against a double border wall being constructed and in the run-up to the October 4th day of action that organizers are hoping to invite people to at the US-Mexico border. Alongside this, you’ll hear Jackson, an organizer with the Human Rights Coalition talking about the situation of 2020 Uprising prisoner Khalif Miller.
We hope you enjoy the interviews! This episode will also be this Sunday’s podcast, so expect to hear back from us October 11th.
