Episode 23: Creating Space To Dream In Puerto Rico w/ Molly Crabapple
Added 2018-10-04 10:00:02 +0000 UTCThis week journalist and artist Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple) drops by to talk Puerto Rico, SESTA/FOSTA, and much more.
Highlights:
Jamie and Molly's shared past as members of anarcha-feminist workers' cooperative SuicideGirls.com - haha. Another in the ongoing series 'This Week In Musk'. Sex workers as a rising voice within the political sphere.
(Big shout out to Lysistrata, The Black Sex Workers Collective, Survivors Against SESTA and sex workers everywhere fighting for safety and dignity!)
Deep dive into the legacy of colonialism, debt, crisis and austerity in Puerto Rico. What lessons can the mainland/international left take from Hurricane Maria and its aftermath? Will the island's future be austerity and privatization... or mutual aid and resistance?
