Welcome to the first episode of the Black Green Red (BGR) Podcast, A Marxist media project focused on Black liberation, climate justice, and achieving socialism in America. Hosted by Patrick, a 24-year-old activist and child of immigrants, this show makes Marxist ideas accessible to the average American and gives suggestions on actions we can all take to achieve our liberation.
In this episode, we cover the origins of BGR, the meaning behind the colors Black, Green, and Red, and what you can expect from future episodes. This includes conversations about the climate crisis, socialist politics, and the legacy of figures like Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.
