Episode 14 - Degaussing
On this episode of PST, we are joined by friend of the show Rayito de Luz, to discuss examples of the consequences of systemic inequity and the intensification of violence and xenophobia against communities of color due to Covid-19 here in the United States through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Public Space Travel is a podcast dedicated to social/political critique, comedy, and education. Coming from an anti-hierarchy/oppression perspective, we aim for progressive/radical left solidarity with brothers/sisters/trans and non-binary folk of all stripes.
