Long-time activist and organizer scott crow joins us on KBOO to discuss the current pandemic, and his experiences organizing mutual aid networks of resistance under the slogan ‘solidarity not charity’. His steadfast commitment to resisting oppression made crow a target of FBI surveillance for years, but he continues to advocate for systemic, fundamental change to the way our society is organized.
scott crow is an Austin, TX–based anarchist community organizer, writer, and trainer who began working on anti-apartheid, international political prisoner and animal rights issues in the mid-1980s.
