8am activist calendar

8:08 am Jacob and Zane speak with Ballyn Teagle, a young Newcastle activist and member of Frontline Action Against Coal who stopped coal train movements this week by suspending himself in a tripod over a rail line. The "act up" week of protests is happening in Newcastle from September 12-16 and will seek to further highlight the need for a transition away from coal using nonviolent direct action.

820am Jacob reviews the new film Black Klansman, which depicts the true story of an African American policeman who infiltrated the KKK. The film has many positives but is problematic in its depiction of the police as a force for good in the fight against racism and fascism.
