This Thursday’s episode of The Insurgency Hour (noon to 1pm) will feature an interview with Roger White, a criminal justice researcher and activist. Roger grew up in Baltimore and eventually made his way to Oakland, California (the birthplace of the Panthers), where he has been working as a criminal justice researcher at the Data Center for about 6 years. Prior to joining the Data Center research team, Roger was a campus organizer in college, a union organizer, and an organizer in poor communities for ACORN. In addition to his current activist “day job” at the Data Center, Roger is very active in the broad APOC (Anarchist People of Color) movement. He also is the author of “Postcolonial Anarchism.” Roger will discuss the US prison regime, policing, and how anarchists of color in North America are working against white supremacy and all forms of social domination.
