    Ep. 08: MIDWEST KASAMAS: Celebrating Filipino American history month.

    This month’s episode is about Filipino American history and its relationship with environmental justice.  We must understand that the United States has violently and consistently seized and controlled land in the Philippines for many years to benefit its empire. This continues today in the presence of military bases on Filipino land and the collusion of the US government working with Filipino dictatorial regimes to exploit the land and lives of those living in the Philippines. The implications of these international land struggles mean that for us living in the so-called United States, we are not separate from these struggles. In fact we are intrinsically tied to them. Our government sends millions of dollars in military funding to the Philippines every year. Our government is complicit in advancing severe human rights violations heralded by the dictatorial regimes in the Philippines. Imperialism runs deep y’all. We will discuss this later in the show in more detail, but chew on that.

    Ep. 01: GROWING OUR ROOTS: Environmental justice founded in abolition.

    In our premier episode, we discuss the importance of grounding environmental justice organizing in the theoretical roots of abolitionist movements of the past and present. We also get to know the hosts, Vicky and Jordan, on a personal level, and establish the goals of the show. Follow us on socials @hotbotheredohio on Twitter and Instagram and donate to us at patreon.com/hotbotheredohio This month we want to highlight the ongoing struggle in Columbus against police brutality in the midwest, we want to shout out a group of community members working to shine light on Casey Goodson Jr.’s story and truth in light of the up coming trail of Murderer Micheal Jason Meade. Meade had shot Casey in the back 6 times as Casey was entering his house. Meade is just one example of the how policing has been used as an instrument of terror, because if not for the community outrage I don’t believe there would even be a trail. So help the community members share Casey’s truth to the people of Franklin county or your local region. For more information follow @convictmeade on Instagram, Facebook and twitter and reach out if you want to get involved. We also want to highlight the case of James Williams, a father who was shot through his backyard fence by canton pd after shooting his firearm in the air on new years. The officers did not name themselves or engage in contact with Williams until after the shooting started. if you want to get involved with these ongoing struggles you can find updates on the Facebook pages of Consistency Speaks and Persistent Media
