Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

On today's episode I'm going to have three different organizers from three different organizations

here in Omaha on to talk about a recent mass arrest, protests that have been going on in

Omaha police violence, what amounts to human rights violations with a lot of these protesters

when they were detained by the Omaha Police Department.

We talk about the fallout from that and we talk about just some of the actions and activities

that organizers and activists here in Omaha are engaged in with the hopes of not only getting

this story out to a wider audience about what's happening here in Omaha but also to perhaps

inspire other people to take some of these ideas and run with them, people that are organizing

in their own communities, particularly maybe communities that are medium-sized cities that

don't have a lot of already existing organizing infrastructure to tap into.

People are trying to find their way and see what they can do and how they can contribute

to this national, continental and global movement for black liberation, basic forms of equality,

justice, human decency, etc.

So yeah, we have on bear from pro-black, David Harvey from the Omaha abolition research

and a multiple time guest, Brendan, on to speak for NLC.

So without further ado, let's get into this conversation with these wonderful organizers.

Enjoy.

My name is Barlow Exander.

I'm one of the organizers in pro-black.

Just a little recap, I was a caught selling marijuana when I was 19 years old and then they

sent me to prison for one year.
