"We want to let people know everywhere that this is happening": Alejandría Lyons Calls out False Solutions, Honors Mentors, and Reflects on Food Sovereignty

In this episode, JTA board member Alejandría Lyons discusses coalitional organizing against false solutions and the neoliberal Blackstone corporate takeover of TXNM, the parent company of New Mexico's largest utility provider. The interview also highlights the importance of movement mentors and elders (see Alejandría and JTA's José Bravo in this episode's featured photo!), building coalitional people power, food sovereignty, and more. This episode acknowledges the important work of the NM No False Solutions coalition, Youth United for Climate Crisis Action (YUCCA), Los Jardines Institute, Pueblo Action Alliance, Labor Network for Sustainability, and Hoodwinked in the Hothouse. To learn more about the proposed Blackstone takeover, follow @nofalsesolutions on social media and the websites linked above!Follow JTA on Social Media!Instagram (@jtalliance)FacebookBlueskyVisit the JTA website! Learn about the Podcast's Musical Sounds!  Artist: Xica SonicaAlbum: 13 Rabbit - Ancestral Pulse / Future Memory
