Silver Threads
Still walking, still waking
Collectivize Everything — Juliette Rousseau
Show Description:
“Don’t aim for what’s realistic — aim for what actually kicks you in the guts. Aim for what is so beautiful that you’re gonna give it everything you’ve got collectively to make it happen.”
Juliette is an author and independent journalist who joins us from France to talk about the power of imagining the impossible, territories in struggle, collective solidarity, and more!
Music for the show: Floodlight by Eleanor’s former Band Rooftop Revolutionaries.
