Description

In this episode, Jasmine Araujo of Southern Solidarity joins us to discuss Mutual Aid in a  Pandemic, in New Orleans.  She and her crew have set up shop and they  feed 200 people a day, give them blankets, arrange for medical care, and  help when they get harassed by cops or passers-by.  She discusses the  origins of Southern Solidarity, their daily routine, and the way  COVID-19 has affected the homeless in New Orleans.  After that, Scott  and Bob talk a little about the importance of Mutual Aid and workers  actions. While the media is reporting the spectacle of little Nazis and  Confederates "protesting" at State Capitols, a far greater number of  people are staging workplace actions for better working conditions and  safety.  
There's a lot going on here at the Green and Red Podcast!
