In Philadelphia, Organizers Step Up as the Government Taps Out
In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Steven Powers, an organizer with the Philadelphia Liberation Center, to talk about how the group is stepping up efforts to ensure Philadelphia's most vulnerable communities have access to food and supplies amid the shelter-in-place order, why the government's inability or unwillingness to seriously address the coronavirus outbreak means the onus of dealing with its impacts has fallen to working communities themselves, and why the bonds formed as we struggle to address the crisis together are crucial to developing the kind of mass working-class movement needed to bring about real liberation.
