In this episode: It's part two of our music listen and tell! We play even more songs that are related to our show’s theme (we promise!). We trade song selections and ask the important questions, like how to leverage our collective power, how to build a movement, what aliens must think of us, and if the Vengabus will ever come.

Once again, this music-heavy episode is shorter in podcast form. We could only play fair-use friendly clips of all the songs in this podcast format. But we've included the songs we listened to in the show notes so you can hop on YouTube (or wherever you stream) and listen along with us!

We want to hear from you! What are you struggling with in this moment? What questions would be useful for us to try to answer? How can this show practically serve you as you navigate surviving under oppressive systems, finding your place in the movement ecosystem, or making your organizing more effective?
