  • Summary

  • This month, Tamsyn and Paniz are joined by Cheryl Rivera from Lux Magazine and Daniel Sarah Karasik from Midnight Sun Magazine to talk about why we need more socialist media. They discuss the relationship between writing and organizing, how their magazines try to reach existing and potential comrades, and making media that focuses on representing possibilities instead of changing minds.
