PLEASE NOTE: We have included a content warning for this episode.
We talk about some extremely emotional, traumatic moments that have occurred in Nigeria, both in the last month and in years past. These events include conversations about death and extreme state violence meted out to protesters and civilians alike. Please proceed with caution if you are sensitive to these subjects.

Today we're sitting down with Sango, a comrade who has been on the frontlines in the battle against police brutality in the ongoing uprising in Nigeria. We dug into the SARS units of Nigeria, discussed the EndSARS movement and began to imagine what a brighter future might look like.

On this episode of Protean Pirate Radio, Kyle and Mel sit down with the former workers of the Dandelion Community Cafe, The Seeds, where they walk us through their fight to unionize their local Orlando, FL cafe. You'll hear from Travis, Bob, and Julia as they tell us how they and their fellow workers came together in the fight against unfair and exploitative business practices. It is infuriating, it is inspiring.
