In the second segment, Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon are joined by James Jordan, National Coordinator for the Alliance for Global Justice, to talk about the nationwide strikes in Colombia, what the strikes mean for the future of President Ivan Duque, the destabilizing role the United States is playing throughout Latin America, and the ever-growing death toll of those protesting right-wing governments.
In the third segment, Sean and Eugene are joined by Namibian social justice advocate Nampa Shivute to talk about her new documentary "Sodom and Gomorrah: Exporting Homophobia to Africa," the brutal violence against LGBTQ+ people in Kenya and Uganda, the role churches in those countries play in spurring the violence, and how the United States uplifts violent and homophobic through "missionary colonialism".
