Description
This week, we're sharing two segments: the main feature is an interview with the recently released anarchist organizer and writer Hybachi LeMar; but first up you'll hear Aarohi of the Xinachtli Freedom Campaign about the elder political prisoner's medical condition and the phone zaps to pressure the TDCJ to alleviate his medical neglect
Xinachtli Phone Zap[ 00:01:48 ]
Xinachtli is an elder, Chicano communist activist and political prisoner 30 years into a 50 year sentence for disarming a sheriff's deputy. Of that 30 years, he's spent 23 in solitary confinement. At age 73, Xinachtli has and continues to face medical neglect at the hands of the Texas prison system, with outside supporters having to apply pressure to get him things like a wheelchair or a proper diet. You'll hear Aarohi of the Xinachtli Freedom Campaign talk about his case and about the phone zaps about Xinachtli's condition as well as how to get in touch with the comrade.

Then, an interview that's been a long time in the making. Hybachi LeMar is an anarchist who grew up in Chicago and began considering anarchism thanks to a letter he received from Anthony Rayson of the South Chicago Anarchist Black Cross Zine Distro during over a year in solitary confinement years ago. Since that time, Compa LeMar has been organizing with projects like IWOC, IWW IU613, the self-organized Liberation School in Englewood, food distribution mutual aid, the Chicago local organizing committee of the Black Autonomy Federation and is now the author of three collections of essays (listed at his website) as well as numerous zines.
