Solidarity, Not Spam: Defend Chamoru Self-Determination, Oppose Bill 242-38!

from The Red Nation Podcast

URGENT: Sign now to oppose Bill 242-38; the hearing is happening as this episode drops.  Petition: https://forms.gle/zEoq7Rf6Jmg32jTS7 Note: The recording took place 24 hours before the public hearing at the Guam Congress Building on Bill 242-38. Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie and TRN comrade Tåhdong talk with Melvin Won Pat-Borja (Executive Director, Guam Commission on Decolonization) and Michael Lujan Bevacqua (Co-Chair, Independent Guåhan) about why Bill 242-38 would erase a Native-Inhabitant–led vote and violate CHamoru self-determination. We cover Guåhan and Micronesia's decolonization history, the ways U.S. citizenship is switched on/off by a militarized agenda, how an Independent Micronesia could shift Guam from being America's "tip of the spear" to a bridge of peace between East and West, and why Indigenous solidarity is more powerful than spam. Submit written or oral testimony before the public hearing.
