Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is your host, Abby Martin.

I'm joined by Robbie Martin today.

Hi, guys.

Today we have a special interview with Anoa Changa.

She's an attorney, progressive activist, and commentator based in Atlanta, who hosts The Way with Anoa Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. Eastern. She's also managing editor of the

Progressive Army. Recently, Anoa was featured in a piece on NPR affiliate W-A-B-E News, but not for

her amazing activism. It was instead for being a Russian stooge, simply because she goes on socialist

radio shows on Sputnik, a Russian broadcaster,

to talk about her progressive causes.

While we're joined now with Anoa to talk about her work, this absurd smear campaign, and the

larger context of Trump and Russia, thank you so much for making the time and coming on with

us, Anoa.

Well, I appreciate you both very much for making the time

for this conversation to happen.

And like I said to some other folks,

thank you for not just having this conversation

without me present.

There are folks out there who are doing that

and using this for their own clicks.

So I really do appreciate you all

for valuing the conversation

and my presence in the space.
