We are bound by the same chains, therefore we must forge the same key. 

Two stories of interconnected struggles and how we can forge the tools towards freedom. 

Day Soriana chats to Sunday of Philippines liberation movement Anakbayan on yearning itself can be a weapon, and that until the diaspora can return, they must continue to fight the struggle of the people no matter where they are. Then, Virginia Barahona with Yung Prodigy cofounder Maia Ihemeje on the ripple effects of parental/kinship incarceration and how their work with young people is guiding us towards a more free and connected world from the ground up.

Day Soriano x Sunday from Anakbayan
It’s one thing to fall in love with the land, it’s another thing to fall in love with the masses. Anakbayan organisers Day and Sunday come together to transform diasporic longing for the Philippines into actions towards revolutionary self-determination back home, and the responsibilities to connect to First Nations justice in so-called australia.

Justice is Love in Public by Virginia Barahona
When we incarcerate someone, we’re removing someone from a community and that will be felt in ripples. Guest Producer Virginia Barahona is joined by community builder and Yung Prodigy co-founder Maia Ihemeje. A poignant conversation, unravelling the contradictions of the so-called justice system and making clear the work of Yung Prodigy as an organisation that centers young people whose experience of the prison industry system is most often unseen.
