On this episode of Morning Riot, Mel sits down with Chicago comrade Paul Scanty to talk about recent local events in both Omaha and Chicago, the frustration of trying to effect change at the local level, how to build community support and mutual aid outside the influence of the state, and so much more. Thanks again to the folks who waited patiently for this episode to come out - we recorded it last month before the world fell further apart, but I think it's a good conversation and I hope you find it useful and good to listen to.
