RadioActive 8/8/19: Taking a Stand Against White Supremacy Group in Maine

Producer/Host: Meredith DeFrancesco
Production assistance from Dawn Neptune Adams

We spoke with Mackenzie Swift, who took a stand against the white supremacist group “Maine for Mainers” on line and is now being targeted at her workplace, Slate’s in Hallowell.
We hear her experience and discuss the responsibility of businesses and communities in responding to white supremacy and supporting those targeted by harassment.
Our guests include Mackenzie Swift, Sass Linnekan with Resources for Organizing and Social Change (ROSC) and Christine with the Central Maine Chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ).
