How to start your own grassroots activist collective

Talking Radical Radio

In episode #288 of Talking Radical Radio (September 25, 2018), Scott Neigh interviews long-time organizers Amanda Wilson and Dan Sawyer of the Punch Up Collective. In recent years, Wilson and Sawyer have found that many people they talk to want ways to get together with others to work for social change, but in our disconnected, fragmented, neoliberal age have few options to do so. They believe that one possibility that could work for almost anyone is to get together with a handful of other people with whom you share political values and priorities, and form a *collective*. They talk about collectives in general, about Punch Up in particular, and about their work to support other people in forming collectives of their own.
