This week on the show, you ll hear from Doug, Onion and |
|
Papi, three |
|
folks involved in the Aston Park Build, a daily event to |
|
hold space in |
|
Aston Park in downtown Asheville, creating art, sharing |
|
food and music |
|
and a wider part of organizing here to demand safer space |
|
& |
|
redistribution of wealth to care for houseless folks and |
|
relieve the |
|
incredible strains on housing affordability in Asheville. |
|
We talk about |
|
the park actions, the housing crisis and service industry |
|
wage woes, |
|
local government coddling of business owners and police |
|
repression of |
|
folks on the margins. |

Sean Swain s Transfer |
|
|
|
|
|
This week s segment is Sean s statement given to the |
|
Interstate |
|
Compact Hearing he was to face before the foregone |
|
conclusion of his |
|
transfer far from his spouse & support base. If you want |
|
to write to |
|
Sean, for the moment it s a good idea to send to his |
|
Youngstown address |
|
until his support site says otherwise, but also to hold |
|
on to a copy of |
|
your letter in case he s been moved and ODRC doesn t send |
|
back your |
|
original. You can find info on how to support his legal |
|
campaign (Donations can be made via CashApp to |
|
$Swainiac1969[8]), his books and past writings at |
|
SeanSwain.org[9] or find updates on Swainiac1969[10] on |
|
instagram or SwainRocks[11] on twitter. |
|
|
|
|
|
We got an update that the Interstate Compact Committee, |
|
during their hearing this week, recommended that Sean |
|
stay in Ohio (but |
|
they didn t quit their jobs). |
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to reach out to the following public officials |
|
to express |
|
your concern at the moving of Sean Swain out of Ohio |
|
based on the word |
|
of a former ODRC because Sean spoke out about torture he |
|
suffered in |
|
Ohio prisons. |
