    Frances Cheffins is the project manager for the What Were You Wearing's (WWYW) national Move For Them Day on November 15. Move For Them Day participants will  run, walk or join in other activities to raise awareness and money for victim-survivors. While WWYW started as an art installation to challenge victim-blaming, it has grown into a not-for-profit organisation that provides survivor healing groups, education and advocacy. WWYW works to end sexual, domestic and family violence against women and counters victim-blaming. It called two national mobilisations in 2024 and one in May this year, which drew thousands to demand urgent action from governments.  Cheffins is based in Naarm/Melbourne and helped organise the previous national day of action, as well as the upcoming Move For Them Day.  We acknowledge that this podcast was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.

    Socialism 2025: Putin's Anti-War Political Prisoners in Russia

    This is a recording of a panel from the Socialism 2025 conference in Chicago, held over July 3–6. It examines Putin's repression of critical voices, those who have publicly opposed his war of aggression against Ukraine. Boris Kagarlitsky, the well-known Marxist critic of Putin's regime, is currently serving a five year sentence in a penal colony for "justifying terrorism" – a charge stemming from a satirical comment about the Crimean bridge explosion. While Kagarlitsky's case has drawn international attention, many other leftwing critics remain imprisoned in obscurity, often held in appalling conditions. The panel was moderated by Suzi Weissman, editorial board member of Against the Current and Critique, host of the Jacobin Radio podcast and author of 'Victor Serge: The Course is Set on Hope'. It features contributions from Russian socialist Ilya Budtraitskis, Ksenia Kagarlitskaya, the daughter of jailed Russian Marxist Boris Kagarlitsky, Grusha Gilaeva, managing editor of Russian anti-war website Posle, and Simon Pirani, historian and researcher on Russia and Ukraine.
