aequa Radio: I C E O U T | Sarj

aequa stands for social equity — from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. This show aims to spotlight people in Berlin and beyond who are worldbuilding during collapse — it’s about people and projects that are DOING THE DAMN THING when it comes to midwifing new and beautiful worlds into being while we try our best to topple empire and kick our addiction to modernity in the process.

In this episode, we’ll be honoring and amplifying the ongoing community defense work of those on the ground in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Turtle Island (so-called U.S.), where since the end of last year, federal agents have been sent to terrorize and kidnap the locals. In response, the good people of Minneapolis and St. Paul have been building rapid response and mutual aid networks to protect and care for their at-risk neighbors. Even as it seems these efforts have sprung from the ground, they are rooted in deep and long histories of organizing, in particular the ongoing work of Black Lives Matter organizers during and since the 2020 uprisings. Let’s take a closer look, and listen to some music to help us channel that same fire to show up with such courage and conviction in our own contexts.
