s1e8: Disabled & Revolutionary with Tameka Citchen-Spruce

Season 1 · Episode 8

Sunday, July 5, 2026 • Duration 48:38

"Disabled people have always existed, whether the word disability is used or not. To me, disability is not a monolith, nor is it a clear-cut binary of disabled and nondisabled. Disability is mutable and ever-evolving. Disability is both apparent and nonapparent. Disability is pain, struggle, brilliance, abundance, and joy. Disability is sociopolitical, cultural, and biological. Being visible and claiming a disabled identity brings risks as much as it brings pride." - Alice Wong, American disability rights activist

In this episode of Radicals for Good, we're discussing organizing with disabilities (visible and invisible) and how we can embody Disabled revolutionaries in our work with Tameka Citchen-Spruce, a disability justice advocate, independent media producer, author and national speaker who uses storytelling to amplify voices and challenge systems of exclusion.

s1e5: Tactics for Worker Solidarity with Loren Branch

Season 1 · Episode 5

Sunday, May 3, 2026 • Duration 58:00

“To me, the Beloved Community is a realistic vision of an achievable society, one in which problems and conflict exist, but are resolved peacefully and without bitterness.”

-Coretta Scott King

In this episode of Radicals for Good, we discuss different tactics, like boycotting and strikes, we can use to build solidarity in the working class with Loren Branch (Nyerere Omowale), an organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), writer, street drummer and popular political educator.

Loren Branch (aka Nyerere Omawale) is a New Afrikan Revolutionary Socialist from the westside of Detroit, Joy Road to be exact. From Chicago to Detroit, Loren has been building independent working class power across liberation struggles including Black liberation, Palestine Solidarity movement, queer liberation, immigrant rights, police murder, anti-war, and more. Rooted in Marxism, the Black Radical tradition, and Pan-Africanism—Loren is a product of UAW Local 600 and the Republic of New Afrika.

His ultimate life goals are to become a father and to build the world dignity and self-determination we need and deserve. To play a role in advancing the unfinished revolution of his ancestors and elders—ending capitalism and building a new socialist system run for and by The People. To see Detroit and the global working class liberated in our lifetime.
