n this episode we dispel the idea that Trump's federalization
of DC police is an abberation from what has already been happening
in DC. Rather, it should be understood as an escalation of an
ongoing bipartisan project committed to dissolving the thin line
between police and military. To help us discuss this myth, we
invite guests Oliver Robinson and Erica Caines.
Oliver Robinson is an organizer in Pan-African
Community Action (PACA), a DC-based group of African people
organizing for locally based power.
Erica Caines is a writer and organizer in Baltimore
and the DMV. Caines is the national coordinator of The Black
Alliance For Peace, editor at Hood Communist, and founder of
#LiberationThroughReading, providing African children with books
that represent them.
