73. Snapshot of a Movement - 2019 DSA Natl Conv - Part 1

Giving the Mic to the Wrong Person

This is the first of three episodes of conversations recorded at the end of the 2019 National Convention of the Democratic Socialists of America, held in Atlanta that August. The 2021 National Convention is being planned now, happening all online. These interviews will hopefully help inform that process by giving a glimpse of what folks who survived that weekend in August 2019 thought about it. - Voices featured are Abi from NYC, Natasha and Laura from Portland, Mags from MetroDC, and the Washington Post's Dave Weigel. (He's the one who talks about covering political events and his favorite Peter Gabriel-era Genesis album.) - Part 2 is available here: https://soundcloud.com/givingthemic/73-snapshot-of-a-movement-2019-dsa-natl-conv-part-2 - Support the protestor bail funds in your city: https://bailfunds.github.io/ - Help us make the show! http://www.patreon.com/givingthemic - Find us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/givingthemic - Questions/comments/suggestions for great local Korean food: [e-mail] - http://facebook.com/givingthemic/ - - Main theme by The Mysterious Breakfast'r Cereal on SoundCloud @chiptheme - - All items trademarked and copyright their respective owners.
