This was community in conversation.In a powerful joint episode, the hosts of Radical Roots and Drawing Bigger Circles sit down in Monroe, NC, to unpack the intersection of grief, memory, race, and power — after a Charlie Kirk vigil in town stirred controversy and calls for accountability.🔥 What We Cover:📍 Mayor Burns & Parron BaxterWe dig into the Mayor’s online targeting of a resident, community backlash, and the NAACP’s formal call for his removal. What does it say when elected officials wield their platform to silence dissent?🕯️ The Vigil Heard 'Round the CountyWhat started as a memorial for Charlie Kirk took a chilling turn. We ask: Who gets to define mourning, and who gets erased in the process?⚠️ White Supremacy, Memory, and Manufactured MythFrom Monroe to MAGA, we look at how power distorts narrative, especially around race and class.💰 Organize or Obey: Economic ResistanceIt’s time to stop funding systems that harm us. We talk economic boycotts, narrative ownership, and why local action is our most potent weapon.📢 Closing ChallengeSilence is not neutrality. Show up. Speak out.
