Synopsis:

On July 29, 2022, the FBI raided seven locations in St. Petersburg, Florida and St. Louis, Missouri that were affiliated with the African Peoples Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement. Three people, Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess, and Jesse Nevel were later indicted on charges related to operating as "unregistered foreign agents” which could result in prison terms of 15 years. Their trial is set to begin on September 3 in Tampa, Florida. On August 31 a “Not One Step Backwards” March and Rally will be held at Uhuru House in St. Petersburg.

Omali Yeshitela joins us from St. Petersburg, Florida to discuss this case. We also discussed this year’s presidential election and the defeat of Congresswoman Cori Bush.

Roger McKenzie is the international editor of the UK-based Morning Star Online, the only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world. The killing of three children in Southport, England set off a wave of protest, and Islamophobic and racist attacks. Roger McKenzie will explain the political background of these events and the political outlook for the UK. We also discussed his Morning Star Online article entitled, “Only Class Solidarity Can Defeat Racism.” He joins us from Edinburgh.
