Final Straw: Memory, Movement and June 11th 2024

Long-running anarchist radio show and podcast The Final Straw presents an interview on June 11, international day of solidarity with anarchist prisoners. For June 11th events, go here.

This week on The Final Straw, we’re sharing an interview we conducted in recognition of the upcoming celebration of June 11^th International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason and other long term anarchist prisoners. This week you’ll hear Julie Herrada, a long time anarchist activist, comrade of Marius Mason and worker at the Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan. Julie is joined by Matthew Hart, another longtime anarchist involved in labor organizing, historical research with the Dockstadter Mutual Aid Society and the Los Angeles Anarchist Black Cross chapter of the Federation. We speak about history, memory, prisoner support and continuing the struggle.

If you’d like to hear more about the history of June 11^th and voices of anarchist prisoners and those who support them outside, we’ve taken the opportunity each year to have at least one show focusing on specific cases or concepts related to ongoing struggle and anti-repression work.

But first up, you’ll hear a comrade reading the 2024 call entitled No Separate Worlds and you’re hearing a conversation between anarchist historians and prisoner supporters about memory and the upcoming June 11^th international day of soldiairty with marius mason and longterm anarchist prisoners.
