Episode 14: Interview with Bronx Anti-War
On this episode, Geraldo is joined by two organizers from Bronx Anti-War and Bronx Mutual Aid.

This episode is very important for understanding what organizing is like in the so-called united states and why it is so important to combat the many liberalisms that arise under neocolonialism.
