Move to the Left: Recent Episodes
Move to the Left Podcast
Move to the Left is lead by two UK students. We want to cover historical and current, social and political issues, in an effort to educate ourselves and others about topics everyone should be aware of.
Let's talk Women. From a range of information about menstruation to planned parenthood and abortion laws to some medical stories, we talk about issues that arise on the daily for a lot of women. Join us next week for an episode on the environment!
Join us for this week for an episode about the current humanitarian crisis happening in Yemen, and a discussion about why 'third world countries' are allowed to suffer, why white immigrants aren't discriminated against, and why POCs aren't allowed to seek better futures for their families.
This week on Move to the Left, we are talking to our former teacher Junior Jones. As a choreographer and dancer, but most importantly a black man, Junior shares his unique perspective of the current BLM movement and discusses his personal stories with us. Please watch his interview on ITV Meridian News here: https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2020-06-23/how-the-windrush-generation-inspires-others-through-music/
Disclaimer: The topics discussed can be upsetting to some. All points made are done to educate others and ourselves about the racial injustices that so many face on a day to day basis.
We discuss the BLM protests that have been going on daily for the past month, talk about systemic racism and influential people within the movement. We also talk about the stories of black people who have fallen victim to racially motivated crimes.
Please look at our Instagram for all sources to the materials we discussed, as well as links to people's stories, relevant petitions and gofundme's.
90% of proceeds will be donated to the BLM movement and the respective families of the people we spoke about.
