This week on News You Can Use, Edwin and Hannah are getting real about freedom—what it means, who gets it, and who stands in the way. We're joined by Sarina from our Movement Politics department and Omar from Make The Road for a no-BS conversation about fighting back against ICE, big money, and rising fascism in our communities. We talk organizing, sharing power, and picking each other up when things get tough. If you’re ready to stand up for freedom for ALL (not just corporations and billionaires), you don’t want to miss this one! Pull up a chair, hit play, and join the fight to keep America truly free.

This episode, hosts Edwin and Hannah celebrate Pride Month ’25 with a special guest: Alec Walker-Serrano, our new Traditional Comms Organizer! 🌈 Together, they dive into the current queer political landscape in Pennsylvania, unpacking the wins, challenges, and what’s next for our community. Alec shares his personal take on queer joy, the power of community, and the inspiration behind launching NEPA Stands Up’s Queer Liberation group. Tune in for honest conversation, laughter, and fresh insights on what it means to build queer power and solidarity in 2025. Happy Pride, y’all!
