Wake Up With WURD w/ Solomon Jones 8.20.24 - Senator Corey Booker

Chris and Kaylia talk about the slow burn of progressive resistance that is finally starting to pick up steam, from Corey Booker's record-breaking Senate speech to an interview with Feleipe Sousa-Lazaballet from Florida's District 42, who is running to be the first Dreamer ever elected to the State House in that state. We also talk about some good news, the importance of protest, the inherent risks of free speech when you work for a corporation (or a university), and a few ways you can get involved in local LGBTQIA activism.

Friends Foes, and Finding a Voice in Florida

This week the Combine Collective had our usual free flowing conversation but we touched on the themes of accountability, self control (thinking for yourself and others), ‘Hands Off!’ Protests, tariffs, kleptocracy and much more. An intergenerational exchange is essential to our growth as a community. Focus up!

We are the Brooklyn Combine, a non-profit community organization. We work with schools, community organizations, and dedicated city officials to help provide mentorship, critical education, leadership, and social support programs to youth and young adults in low-income and underserved communities.
