    The Fight Back! Radio team categorically condemns the shameful attacks on Iran, its people, and its sovereignty by the US and Israel. We recommend that our listeners hit the streets and join the other people of conscious calling for hands off Iran, the U.S. out of the Middle East, and an end to the Zionist project. We would also like to wish everyone a happy International Women's Day (IWD).

    No Ceasefire to be Seen: The Continued Fight for a Free Palestine with Husam Marajda

    Since the ceasefire agreement in October of 2025, we've seen Israel commit daily bombings, blocking of aid, the withholding of hostages and bodies of martyrs, and no sign of giving up their genocidal agenda. We're honored to be joined by Husam Marajda, co-chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), to unpack the current situation. Husam provides us with his analysis of the so-called "ceasefire", describes the current conditions in Gaza and the Arab world more broadly, and spells out what the continued fight for a free Palestine looks like, both domestically and abroad. To our Palestinian and Arab listeners that live in the U.S. and who want to join the fight for a Free Palestine, we urge you to join the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN). USPCN is a Palestinian and Arab community-based organization, founded in 2006 to revitalize grass-roots organizing in Palestinian and Arab communities in the U.S., as part of the broader Palestinian nation in exile and the homeland.

    Fighting for Immigrant Rights in Minnesota with Mira Altobell-Resendez

    The Fight Back! Radio production team sends our condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Renee Nicole Good, and we extend them to all those who have been taken from us by ICE. We wholeheartedly condemn Jonathan Ross for his brutal murder of Renee, and we extend that condemnation to all federal agents wreaking terror across the US, and the Trump administration for orchestrating this terror. On January 7th, 2026 Renee Nicole Good was gunned down by in broad daylight by Jonathan Ross for the crime of serving as a community observer. That moment lit a fire in Minneapolis, and the people immediately began flooding the streets to direct that fire and to defend their city from these murderous thugs. Our guest today, Mira Altobell-Resendez has been on the front lines of this fight. As an organizer in the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), Mira describes the struggles being waged out in the streets of Minneapolis and the work MIRAC and the community has done to prepare for these struggles. As a member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), Mira also breaks down how these local fights are related to US imperialism at a global scale. If you live in Minnesota and want to join the fight against ICE terror, check out the Minnesota Immigrants Rights Action Committee. If you don't live in Minnesota, you can get connected with an org in your area that's affiliated with the Legalization For All network, or look into starting your own.

    Hands Off Venezuela! An on the Ground Perspective with Jae Franklin

    On December 9, 2025, organizers from the US touched down in Venezuela to participate in the International Peoples' Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace conference. This was in an effort to show solidarity and support the people of Venezuela and their fight for the sovereignty of their country. Jae Franklin was one of these organizers. As a Black Queer organizer in Chicago, Jae serves as a co-chair of the Anti-War Committee Chicago, the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda, and is a member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. We had the honor of sitting down with Jae to discuss their first-hand experience of being in Venezuela, and to analyze the US shameful intervention in the country, and how the people of Venezuela and across the world are fighting back. In the early morning hours of January 3, 2026, after this interview was recorded, explosions lit up the skies over Caracas at least seven times. US forces launched a coordinated attack on civilian and military sites across Venezuela including in Miranda, Aragua and La Guairá. President Nicolás Maduro and the First Lady Cilia Flores were kidnapped by U.S. military forces. Fight Back! Radio whole heartedly condemns this act of war, and we call upon all people of conscience to hit the streets and demand HANDS OFF VENEZUELA and FREE PRESIDENT MADURO! You'll fight back better and stronger by joining an organization. If you're in Chicago, consider joining Anti-War Committee Chicago. or finding an affiliate of the Anti-War Action Network in your area. You can also join the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda.
