This week, Briahna speaks to journalist & editor at Multipolarista Benjamin Norton and 2016 Green Party VP & National Organizer for Black Alliance for Peace Ajamu Baraka about the recent election of the first left President of Colombia. What are the implications for US imperialism in the region, and what lessons does it hold for American leftists watching our own Democracy crumble?  Ajamu lives in Colombia, and has had a personal relationship with VP-elect Francia Marquez since she was a teenager. Ben and Ajamu explain how powerful left movements forced new president Gustavo Petro to select the Afro-Colombian environmental and indigenous rights activist as his VP, and win an historic election.

Such an important topic, thank you for covering it. Our country can learn so much from our southern neighbors, and I believe a third party could be it.

POW!!! This is what I'm talking about. Hey Briahna, I assume you read these and once again I'm going to suggest a Black Panthers approach to politics as the duopoly won't EVER, under any circumstances, concede power. So a parallel system that forces change from outside. Maybe the Prism Panthers? Rainbow Panthers? I'm Canadian but I believe that the only thing that trickles down is American Oligarchy and in order to start real change and will be able to actually fight against the establishment; it has to start there. P.S. I can't call in generally cause I work a 7 day work week but I'd love to write an email, mines travis@signsvancouver.ca if there's a direct list for discussions? P.s. clearly I wrote this as I listened and didn't hear the last 10 min
