Ep. 107 - Creative Jobs, Life Balance, & Working towards a Liberatory Future within Capitalism 3.0
Manage episode 419322891 series 1524353
BrownTown on BrownTown. Once again, our comrades build on previous discussions from 2019 (Ep. 39) and 2020 (Ep. 59) on the interrelationship between working within and outside of the movement media landscape while balancing a healthy personal life, financial well-being, and everything in between. The duo situate what recent growth means for SoapBox as an entity while also attempting to navigate the inherent contradictions of trying to dismantle capitalism while working within it. In this moment colored by genocide in Gaza, mass migration due to decades of neoliberal policy, and revanchist regressive public policy across the US, we are reminded of the necessity of liberation work as well as the toll it takes on our everyday. How do organizers, activists, creators, and freelancers at large sustain the self in order to sustain the work? How do we do fight the power while avoiding burnout and paying the rent? Here's BrownTown's take. Originally recorded April 17, 2024.
Other topics mentioned:
- Ep. 95 - Home
- Ep. 64 - Non-Profit Industrial Complex ft. Lizette Garza
- One Fair Wage Ordinance Approved by Chicago City Council (NBC)
- One Million Experiments (2023)
- No Cop Academy: The Documentary (2023)
CREDITS: Intro sound bite from The Boondocks. Outro song Thank you, Goodbye by GENTA. Audio engineering all by Kiera Battles. Episode photo by Glitter Guts.
