C: "Hell yeah! And today, we’ve got something big for you, we are announcing the 5th annual May Day On The Harbor. Also on this episode, we’re sitting down with Isabelle Santin, the powerhouse behind Chosen Few Software, a leftist tech collective and business that’s changing the game. Tech isn’t just for the rich and the powerful—Isabelle and her crew are making sure of that."

S: "Yeah, if you think software and coding are just tools for capitalism, think again. Chosen Few Software is proving that tech can be radical, accessible, and built for the people, not just for profit. We’re gonna get deep into what they do, why they do it, and how leftist principles are driving their mission."

C: "Yeah, we got a lot going on too— we got regional news and upcoming happenings, along with mutual aid requests, and more. Music is coming up next and were gonna give all the details for may day.

We are returning to you after a hiatus over the summer that saw us putting our writing hats down for some extended real world organizing.We have a lot to cover in this episode, having been gone for so long. We are choosing to forgo a guest spot this time in favor of recapping in detail the last few months of life here in Aberdeen, WA. What this has meant for organizing, the war on the unhoused, and local City politics.

That's right, from genocidal City policies towards the unhoused in town, to revelations about child molestation from the same City councilor responsible for doxxing a local mutual aid organizer recently.

Stay tuned for that discussion plus a radical news run down, music, and an audio version of our newsletter The Communique, catching you up on all the relevant happenings in Grays Harbor County Washington.
