Abolition, decolonization, immigration, Palestine — how is the Left thinking about the future in this perilous political moment? Socialists and activists showed up in the thousands to this year’s Socialism Conference, a four-day event packed with discussion of today’s most pressing issues and strategies for organizing. Laura Flanders & Friends was there, in Chicago (just days after the Democratic National Convention) for a live taping with three renowned organizers: Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and author of “Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance” and co-founder of The Red Nation, an organization dedicated to Native liberation; Rachel Herzing, an organizer, activist, and advocate fighting the violence of surveillance, policing and imprisonment and co-author of “How to Abolish Prisons: Lessons from the Movement Against Imprisonment”; and Harsha Walia, co-founder of No One Is Illegal, an anti-colonial migrant justice organization and author of the books “Undoing Border Imperialism” and “Border and Rule”. As you’ll hear, they’re not counting on politicians to step into office and grant their wishes. They’re focusing beyond the election cycle. Join us as we envision a liberated future and explore all that it takes to get there. Plus Laura’s commentary.
“. . . Having Deb Haaland [serve as] the Secretary of Interior, has been good in the sense that weve gotten these really amazing reports on things that weve already known, that there was this massive systematic genocide of Native children . . . But at the same time, her department has overseen more oil and gas leases on federal lands than the Trump administration, and thats not an indictment of her as a person. Thats an indictment of that department . . .” - Nick Estes
“. . . We know in an election season that Black women get told were the saviors of the entire world and everything relies on us, even though the rest of the time its very happily that were kind of left to die, quite literally. We are given this message on a regular basis, and I dont know what to say to people about that. The policies of the so-called United States are not life-affirming policies for Black people, for imprisoned people, and for people living as women.” - Rachel Herzing
“I just think that the strongest counterforce to fascism and anti-colonialism is an organized Left. It is not a candidate . . . Sometimes I think we get fixated on what candidates will or wont do, and we dont think about the conditions that the Left can create to actually make those possibilities happen . . .” - Harsha Walia

Guaranteed income programs could have a transformative impact on individuals and families living in low-income households — and make strides in ending poverty…
The Magnolia Mothers Trust in Jackson, Mississippi aims to provide relief for low-income individuals and families. In this episode, we delve into the challenges faced by those living on a low income and emphasize the importance of affordable housing and support for single-income households.
The Magnolia Mothers Trust, which is the first guaranteed income pilot program in the United States, addresses income inequities and supports low-income African-American single mothers residing in affordable housing. By providing a monthly cash payment of $1000 with no strings attached, the program offers a lifeline to these families, enabling them to address immediate needs and achieve financial stability. This comprehensive approach recognizes the unique challenges faced by single-income households and emphasizes the importance of holistic support.
With 37.9 million Americans currently living in poverty, it is imperative to prioritize poverty alleviation efforts. Guaranteed income programs like the Magnolia Mothers Trust demonstrate the potential to lift individuals and families out of poverty and create pathways to financial independence. By providing direct cash support and investing in the dreams and aspirations of those in need, these programs offer hope for a brighter future.
Living on a low income presents unique challenges, and saving for the future becomes virtually impossible. Many individuals and families face obstacles in building financial resilience and escaping the cycle of poverty. Guaranteed income programs can alleviate some of these challenges by providing a financial buffer and fostering a sense of empowerment.
By recognizing the importance of supporting single-income and low-income families, we can strive for greater equity and ensure that no one is left behind in the journey towards ending poverty.
“Clearly it is not only about the cash. I had the opportunity to meet some very wonderful people. I was also able to socialize with different women who were also in the same shoes as me or similar . . . The women there are not getting involved and then leaving you stranded.” - Anquoindria Moore
