Ep 1: "Peace Mom" feat. Cindy Sheehan
Channel: Radio Free Sunroot
Date: 18/04/2020

Talking politics with the well-known antiwar organizer.

Cindy Sheehan is an anti-war activist and anti-imperialist rabble-rouser. She became politically active after her son, Casey, a soldier, was killed in Iraq in April 2005. She became nationally-known in August of 2005 after establishing a protest camp near President George W. Bush’s ranch in Texas. Hundreds of people participated in the protest, which was called “Camp Casey,” in honor of her son. At this time, the media nicknamed her “Peace Mom.”

In our conversation, recorded on March 3rd, 2020, we discussed antiwar activism, US imperialism, the shortcomings of electoral politics, the environmental crimes of the US military, how propaganda supports war, how political organizing is affected by technology and social media, and other topics.
