meditations on struggle & organizing w/ Frank Chapman

We are in conversation with Frank Chapman, organizer & movement architect. The anchoring poles in this conversation revolve around the formation of National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression, movement intellectuals and their development and the importance of struggle. What you will hear over the next hour are the words, ideas, reflections, and meditations by one of our important freedom fighters! Frank Chapman is a former political prisoner, long-time organizer, radical movement architect and former member of the Communist Party. He is the educational director and field secretary at the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR) and a leader in the campaign for an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC) and member of the Freedom Road Socialist Party. The range and scope, the breadth and depth of this conversation provides enough context that my normal introduction is not needed [at least at the moment]. Be sure to tap into the work of the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression and their upcoming conference details available at: https://conference.naarpr.org/ **Note the upcoming conference: https://conference.naarpr.org/** Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; Ghana, Ayiti, and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!
