Trump holds up his recovery as evidence that the time for fear has passed. But migrant children and others caged in the path of COVID-19 will not be flown to Walter Reed Hospital. In this episode, Kelly Hayes explains why “don't fear the virus” is genocidal rhetoric. Like to read while you listen? You can find audio, a transcript and show notes on our website.
In recognition of the National Week of Mourning for victims of COVID-19, and the plight of imprisoned people, this episode also features an audio vigil for people who have been lost to the coronavirus. "Let this Radicalize You: A COVID Memorial Mixtape" includes speeches from organizers Aislinn Pulley, Benji Hart, Tanuja Jagernauth, Juliana Pino Alcaraz, Kelly Hayes and Bresha Meadows. The tape was mixed by Ric Wilson with instrumentation from tobi taiwo. The project was organized by the Lifted Voices collective, and the audio is freely available to anyone who would like to use it for a vigil. We invite you to join us in this collective memorial experience.
