We are all we’ve got: Why mutual aid is more critical than ever
Burn it Down with Kim Brown

We already knew Congress’s priorities are bailing out corporations and serving the rich, but this latest COVID-19 relief package is beyond laughable. It is abundantly clear: The calvary is not coming; we are on our own. So, with need running high, mutual aid organizers are taking it upon themselves to address food scarcity, housing, and jail support in their communities. We speak with Zoe Grieder from Tacoma Mutual Aid Collective, Nitish Pahwa from Crown Heights Mutual Aid, and a member of Good Trouble Cooperative ..read more

Democrats have seemingly caved to Mitch McConnell's grim will once again and are now leaning toward passing an abominably paltry second COVID-19 relief package. In case it wasn't obvious before, it's certainly obvious now: We're on our own. In today's episode of Burn It Down, Kim is joined by TRNN Managing/Baltimore Editor Lisa Snowden-McCray, and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez to discuss the failures of both parties in our collective hour of need ..read more

The Proud Boys hit the streets yet again this week to protest the validity of the general election results and demonstrate their undying support of Donald Trump. We discuss why, with stabbings and a shooting taking place at these demonstrations, police continue to take a hands-off approach. We are joined by guests journalist Chuck Modiano, editor and founder of Black House News Sean Michael Love, reporter and photographer Shauna Sowersby, and a representative from Independent Media PDX.

On June 18, 2020, 18-year-old Andrés Guardado was shot in the back and killed by an L.A. County deputy sheriff. With witnesses disappearing and officers involved pleading the Fifth, the investigation into the police killing of Guardado is looking pretty damn sketchy. We speak with Memo Torres, director of partnerships for L.A. Taco, about the case. Also, the Seattle City Council voted to cut their police budget by 20%, but some residents argue it should be slashed by more. We speak with Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant about what defunding the police means in principle and looks like in pra ..read more
