Gray Panthers


As I've been brainstorming Free Speech TV's upcoming acquisitions strategy, i came across an organization known as The Gray Panthers. They are "an intergenerational, multi-issue organization working to create a society that puts the needs of people over profit, responsibility over power, and democracy over institutions." Founded by Maggie Kuhn, the panthers work on keeping medicare public, fighting for universal health care, legalizing medical marijuana, oppose the death penalty, end nuclear testing, create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace, break up media conglomerates, and fight for public school funding. More about their policies can be found here.

The Activist Studio

Not sure if you've had a chance to check out Free Speech TV's new, super amazing T.V. Show, The Activist Studio. Hosted by Podslam and Cafe Nuba founder Ashara Ekundayo, The Activist Studio features a variety of Denver-based activists talking about key social issues--everything from criminal justice and health issues in the African American community to immigration, ending colonial legacies, transform columbus day. So far its been super queer, dominated by women and people of color, and has featured incredible intersectional analysis. I hope TV like this continues to kick-ass into the future!
