INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we explore an upcoming social justice program being offered by the LGBT Resource Center at Grand Valley State University, called Change U.

Now in its fifth year, this series of monthly programs is an opportunity to explore urgent social justice issues, with an emphasis on understanding systems of oppression, learning from what previous social movements did to combat oppression and providing concrete skills for organizing today.

In studio are Emily West and Jeff Smith, facilitators with Change U, to talk about year’s topics of Confronting Structural Violence, Non-profit Industrial Complex, Queering LGBT Rights and Climate Justice.

Michigan-made music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio comes from Sound Is Red, the new release Ready to burn, with the song “Airbomb.”
