On February 9th, Emma from Refuse Fascism and Tala from the Revolution Club were guests on the Michael Slate Show on KPFK, Pacifica Radio in Los Angeles.
Tala is one of the young women seen by well over a million people on YouTube being dragged out of a speech by the Trump/Pence Regime’s Treasury Secretary Steve “The Mouse” Mnuchin. She is a member of the Revolution Club and is a student at UCLA. She was banned by campus UCLA authorities.
Mnuchin, embarassed by hissing, booing, and challenging questions from a wide range of people in the audience, as well as the disruption by Refuse Fascism and the Revolution Club, banned distribution of the video of the event!
On Monday, March 5, two Refuse Fascism activists were arrested in Washington, DC for delivering a public challenge to Trump’s Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to debate. The mother of those young women, Emma, was subjected to an outrageous attempt at initimidation by Homeland Security visiting her mother’s house on the West Coast.
Emma and Tala were interviewed by Michael Slate. The interview gets into: What happened at UCLA that set off so much furror .What is the message that is being suppressed and attacked? Why are those in power so freaked out by this message? What is it that is keeping people from acting in the millions to drive out this regime and what tools do we have to change that situation? And what do people need to do right now? Listen to the interview here:
