Hello, comrades and relatives. It's Justine. Thank you for tuning into the Red Nation podcast once again.

Today we have a bonus episode that we recorded with comrades returning to the show, including Demetrius, Myr, Levi, and myself.

In this episode, we recorded on the eve of National Day of Morning, otherwise known as the eve of so-called Thanksgiving. We were out in Boston, Massachusetts at the end of last month to attend and participate in the 55th annual National Day of Morning.

Last week, we opted to release the line of speeches from that day, which included the speech read by Demetius Johnson that was collectively written by the Red Nation.

In this episode, the comrades and I are unpacking the meaning of National Day of Morning and its importance of offering a counter-narrative to the settler colonial myth of Thanksgiving.

In doing so, we also impact how this translates materially in the way of how counter narratives

to colonialism are the mechanisms that cuts colonialism right to the core, whether it's here in Turtle

Island, in Palestine, or across the world.

We are releasing this episode as a bonus episode to keep our podcast going.

First and foremost, thank you to everybody who has

contributed to our GoFundMe during Native American Heritage Month. We have reached about a third

of our goal. If you would like to contribute to our GoFundMe, you can find the link to it in any of

our bios and our link tree. Much of the support for our show comes from our Patreon subscribers.

That is why we are releasing this episode as a bonus episode

and why you will only hear the first half hour if you are listening to audio only.

This entire audio will be exclusive to Patreon. I also want to further elaborate on the fact that one of our biggest not so well-kept secrets

is that everything we have video for is also released on our YouTube channel as well.

You can support us by also supporting our YouTube channel by liking our videos and subscribing to our channel.

We do this because, well, we're socialists and we're bad at capitalism.

Even our exclusive content is still accessible, but it is our listener base that supports the show first and foremost.

Patreon has exclusive benefits in addition to our bonus content, like sticker packs,

exclusive mail, and copies of the Red Deal.
