216, Yvonne Yen Liu on building social movement counter power in LA

Free City Radio

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from community organizer Yvonne Yen Liu who is based in LA and speaks about organizing counter power at a city based level. Yvonne talks about efforts to create popular assemblies that can connect different local struggles throughout the larger LA area. I thought to feature this conversation because it is an interesting example of organizing counter power at a city wide level, while speaking to interesting ideas and points around organizational process.
