"Today, we will be hearing from two of my favorite people, author and organizer Mariame Kaba, and writer, organizer, and zinester Red Schulte. We'll be talking about political education that actually builds power: zines as analog infrastructure, reviving our base-building skills, and creating spaces where people learn, practice, and belong. We'll also talk about censorship, link rot, organizing outside the law, and why tenderness, discernment, and making mistakes together are survival skills under fascism."

""We can only be brave together," says Mariame Kaba."
Political education must build power by teaching organizing skills, reviving base-building, and creating durable, accessible infrastructures like zines. Zines function as analog infrastructure that preserves ideas and enables distributed learning. Movements require spaces where people learn, practice, belong, and exercise tenderness and discernment in difficult choices. Censorship, link rot, and legal risks shape how communities share information and organize. Organizing outside the law sometimes becomes necessary and demands careful collective strategy. Making mistakes is inevitable; cultivating collective courage and mutual care allows movements to correct course, sustain momentum, and survive authoritarian pressures.
