    As Revolutionary Baddies wind down Season 2, they bring to life an old story of ordinary people doing revolutionary things. The story of Local 22 in Winston-Salem is a story of Black working class power and unapologetic spirit to fight and demand better conditions, pay, and respect. The 1960s Civil Rights Movement tends to receive all of the glory, but the 1930s- 1940s struggle across the Black working class built the foundation for those movements. North Carolina is home to some of the largest and most influential historical resistance movements. Local 22 is one of those moments, led by Black women that believed in maintaining their dignity, organizing class solidarity, and growth. Hopefully, this episode brings you a deeper connection to Black workers struggles and how we all could be playing a better role for the sake of freedom.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show Instagram & Threads: @revolutionarybaddies Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RevolutionaryBaddies Patreon: patreon.com/RevolutionaryBaddies

    "The Black Revolution in America" by Grace Lee Boggs

    In 1968, revolutionary freedom fighter Grace Lee Boggs wrote an essay speaking to the definition and need for a Black Revolution. She provides us with a grounded assessment of what a revolution in the US means for our collective work. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies dissect her essay, which is featured in “Black Women: An Anthology” by Toni Cade Bambara. Grace Lee Boggs was a Chinese-American organizer, writer, and educator moving through and with the Black Liberation Struggle in 1940s- 1970s. She advocated for evolution and developed a reputation alongside her husband, James Boggs, who was also a revolutionary organizer in Detroit. More than ever, the political and economic climate is calling for a new sense of urgency and a deeper understanding of what a revolution requires.  Questions for our listeners Who will lead the revolution?

    The Pitfalls of Liberalism

    The underlying theme of this season of Revolutionary Baddies is to articulate what makes a revolution. This analysis must include what destroys a revolution. Liberalism is the ideology that carries history of negotiating, obliging, coddling, pacifying, and coercing with imperialism. Liberalism is also the default political ideology of most Black people in this country. This essay, “The Pitfalls of Liberalism” by Kwame Ture was written in 1969 and carries lessons for all of us today. Building organization and unity towards freedom becomes impossible with liberalism unchecked. In the episode, Brittany and Dee Dee provide a relevant discussion of the ways we see liberalism play out today and how we can combat it.  Question for our listeners: How are you combatting liberalism?

    "Give Light and People Will Find the Way" -Ella Baker

    As Ella Baker gave her class valedictorian speech at Shaw University, she left these words and these words led her life. Arguably, one of the most effective and committed grassroots organizer of the 20th century. Ella Baker was an architect behind the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and a leader that believed in the power of everyday people doing extraordinary things. In this episode, Revolutionary Baddies attempt to capture this hero and how she navigated the decades of powerful change. From her time as a student at Shaw University, the oldest HBCU in the South, to her founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Mrs. Baker brought tenacity, resilience, clarity, and resourcefulness to her vision of freedom. Her life and legacy deserves celebration, study, and praise. Hope you enjoy!

    FREE THEM ALL and Other Abolitionist Thoughts

    First things first. Free All Political Prisoners!! Secondly, this episode grants permission for all of us to dream and vision a world beyond policing and prisons. Prisons are American history, and we are yet to a place to recognize and dismantle that reality. Revolutionary Baddies hold a discussion surrounding the many many ways our capitalist determines who is punished and who are not. Through the decades of brainwashing propaganda regarding the benefits of police and prisons, combined with the capitalist opportunities of the private prison industry, plus our malapportioned government system has led to a recipe of injustice. Slavery still exists legally in the United States- which means our society should know and learn more about the many ways slavery still exists. At the same time, prison abolition is about visioning and implementing new systems and institutions that prioritize humanity. We deserve so much more.

    My Body, My Choice? Domestic Violence and Reproductive Justice

    TRIGGER WARNING. Over the past couple of months, there have been several alarming and saddening cases of Black women being murdered by their husbands, fiances, boyfriends, and exes. We cannot shy away from uplifting the names and stories of these Black women and how pervasive  and insidious patriarchal violence is. In order to see a revolution forward, we must address how patriarchy suffocates the Black community and our society at large. That discussion leads to an intentional discussion regarding reproductive justice. Reproductive Justice(RJ) is a framework developed by Black women and strengthened by Black Queer people over time. It is a framework that goes beyond reproductive rights and pro-choice. RJ covers all of those things plus the principle of having safe and sustainable communities. Having safe and sustainable communities guarantees a better future for our children and everyone else. Reproductive Justice is not just a “women’s issue” it is a guide for a more equitable future. Patriarchy is antithetical to all justice. This episode is dedicated to Dr. Cerina Fairfax, Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, Pastor Tammy McCollum, Qualeshia “Saditty” Barnes, Ashlee Jenae, Davonte Curtis, Ashanti Allen, Victoria Alexander, Gabryel Ayers, Raven Edwards, Teonia Stokes, Gladys Johnson, Daneshia Heller, Imani Dia Smith, Bianca Huntley, and Barbara Deer.
