    Ep 70: In Which I Convince You to Vote in the Runoff Election

    Look, we all know that electoralism alone is not a path to liberation, BUT on the local level, there are good candidates worth supporting and bad candidates worth stopping. In February, I interviewed local activist couple Susanna Ledesma Woody and her husband Roy Woody Jr. Susanna is now in a primary runoff election for Travis County Commissioner precinct 4 against a man who was a LITERAL COP for 27 years. The choice should be clear, but if you still aren't convinced, allow me to read you their platforms, followed by the February interview. Early voting is May 18-22 Election day is May 26 https://www.votesusanna.net/ Support me on Patreon! patreon.com/HowtheRedwasWon
