This week our dear friend and fellow campaign staffer Leila Jerome (@leid_edges) joins us to talk about queer joy, pain, the capitalization of pride month, media ecosystems built off of queer oppression and things to look forward to

This week Matt and Rell have our first guest; labor leader and author of Capitalism Killed the Middle Class: 25 Ways the System is Rigged Against You, we briefly chat about the binary two party political systems in America and we dive into his current book on Leonard Peltier, political prisoner, and the family he left behind. Dans books can be found on Amazon and GoodReads and at your local bookstore

This week, Matt is tired, y'all. Organizing in Kansas City for K.C. Tenants on election day is a lot. So Matt asks Rell what it's like being an organizer in DC and how animal rights advocacy relates to human care. We also get into a bit of D.C. City Council politics.

On Homewood, Matt and Rell dissect why we can't have nice things like universal healthcare, living wages and government accountability. Join us as we dive into how we got here, from the perspective of two organizers based in Kansas City and Washington, D.C., who both worked on John Fetterman's Senate campaign. Think of Homewood as a big comfy couch to hang out on with your favs as we dissect why this planet gets 1 star, whats at stake for the future and what the working class can do to make this place better.
