Short for Popular Mobilization, PopMob is a group of concerned Portlanders united around a single, common goal: Inspire people to show up and resist the alt-right with whimsy and creativity. We’re activists and organizers from many groups, including labor rights, arts, education, healthcare, and more. We believe that the people of Oregon don’t want what the alt-right is selling and we know we can push back against hate as one strong community.
Effie, Sheamus, and Renee discuss the decidedly unsexy foundations of community antifascist work with the decidedly sexy BetaCuck4Lyfe! We learn about the Beta Origin Story, the Beta Legal Shitshow, hot Beta takes on Andy Ng* and more.
Seamus, Ben and Renee chat with Alissa Azar, aka r3volutiondaddy!
