Welcome to Molotov Now! This is Sprout, and this is Charyan, we are the hosts of Molotov Now!, and thank you for joining us on this episode of the podcast.


This time we are joined for two interviews, one with two organizers of a recent successful community defense action covering the first Pride event in Oregon City, and another with organizers of the upcoming Dual Power Gathering Midwest being held in Chicago August 17th to the 20th. This episode is all about the threats facing marginalized communities and the alternative power structures being built to liberate them.

We are choosing to forgo a guest spot this time in favor of recapping in detail the last few months of life here in Aberdeen, WA. What this has meant for organizing, the war on the unhoused, and local City politics. That's right, from genocidal City policies towards the unhoused in town, to revelations about child molestation from the same City councilor responsible for doxxing a local mutual aid organizer recently. Stay tuned for that discussion plus a radical news run down, music, and an audio version of our newsletter The Communique, catching you up on all the relevant happenings in Grays Harbor County Washington.

  • 18. PDX Jail Support: Interview and Audiozine

    01:13:30||Season 1, Ep. 18
    This is Sprout and this is Charyan, and we are the hosts of Molotov Now!, on The Channel Zero Podcast Network, thank you for joining us on this episode of the podcast. If you like what we do here and want to support it, you can do that by going to linktr.ee/al1312 and clicking donate, or scrolling to the bottom for Patreon. Today on the podcast we are joined by a member of PDX Jail Support to discuss their efforts creating a culture of mutual aid based around the idea of widespread community jail support. They have spent the last four years building a network of volunteers to stand outside local jails and connect with people coming out of jail. This is done with all arrestees, not simply when there is a need for increased jail support following a protest event. We will also be debuting the audiozine we collaborated on with them detailing how to build a jail support network where you live. We hope you find this episode as inspiring as we did. It really lit a fire in us to get something similar going here where we live. The potential for radicalization is immense in these highly vulnerable and personal connections.
  • 17. Solitude VS Isolation, Relationships As Anarchy

    55:29||Season 1, Ep. 17
    On today's podcast we are going to be discussing two topics that we have been thinking deeply about recently. Relationship Anarchy, and Solitude vs Isolation. We hope that you enjoy our rambling nonsense since we are without a guest this month. So were going back to our roots and talking about some articles that The Harbor Rat Report is working on. These topics have been rattling around our cages in the past few weeks because of the fundamental unceasing nature of the movement work we do. The toll that it takes on a body is real, and only by connecting inter-personally with other beings, including ourselves, can we create the care networks we will need to sustain our movements.Music this Episode:Molotov Now! soundtrack by Pixel PassionateAnthem for My Beloved by Dinero MuertoLittle Boxes by Malvina ReynoldsLearning Curve by Escape From The Zoo!
