No matter who wins the election... - Ep. 7
from Recovery for the Revolution · host Carolyn Collado
No matter what happens on Election Day, one thing won’t change: our need for each other and community. In this episode, Host Carolyn Collado (they/them), and guest, Laila Makled (they/he) discuss preparing for Election Day in the imperial core, what it means to have choice, and grounding in our north star of building power to end racial capitalism. They acknowledge the grief that came with seeing so many who were disgusted by Joe Biden’s funding of genocide, so quickly jumped to the Kamala Harris train, and how they’re feeling now. They discuss the history of harm reduction and the war on drugs, lawful evil (Harris) vs. chaotic evil (Trump), FBI surveillance of our movements, and what it means to vote when the system itself is pro-genocide. They reflect on the hope Uncommitted Movement brings; and while people have been moved to action by the Palestinian genocide, there are many ways the depths of the horror and how they are tied to our day-to-day lives have not been internalized. With that, they offer grounding & next steps as we move forward from this moment together. Laila offers workshops, coaching, and consulting on care, communication and conflict for communities and organizations.
