    Thank you for downloading and listening. In this episode we discuss decolonization with Gord from Little Red School House. This episode and other are already available on their feed, so check them out now if you want your fix earlier. Otherwise since I am on a research trip this summer I am cheating and using these as my summer episodes with a double upload this month. I look forward to the next completely unheard episode and hope ya'll enjoy the summer vacation. I have also started a patreon again explicitly to fund my research on the American Indian Movement, Red Power, and Indigenous Resistance. The goal is to reach $500 a month so I don't have to worry about my rent and bills, while I donate plasma and do podcasting to earn more money on the side. This all will contribute to several books, the People's History podcast, and a large archival project of oral histories; as well as I will be dumb stuff along the side to have fun like a Pizza/Communism documentary I am filming on my research trip. So please help fuel these endeavors, and help me become a full time podcaster. With that I would like to thank the following people Lake P (the first every patron), the absolute best person Kelbaenor who is just a good friend, Rocco, Gina C, MIchael M, d-lang, and silverwit who have been Patrons every time it's been running. Our sometimes co-host cerb, Lazar long ass K-name, and lastly my boi Grant. If you want to be a part of this ever growing list of names please donate. We are 400 plus dollars away from the goal. However I would prefer if you donate to the Jarvis Bay community water drive which is $7000 plus off. I will be donating monthly, but obviously we all should.
