About the HostsPage May (right) & Monica Trinidad (left) have been co-strugglers since 2014, commencing their friendship by traveling to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland to charge the U.S. with genocide alongside 6 other young Black organizers in November of 2014. Since then, they've participated in several campaigns, efforts, and direct actions together in the city of Chicago, including #StoptheCops, #FundBlackFutures, #ByeAnita, #RememberRekia, and more. Their nerdery and love for books has led them to launch this podcast series as an additional resource to offer their community in this time of desperation, struggle, and movement.

About the Lit ReviewThe Lit Review is a new podcast series where we will interview organizers and community members about books. On each episode, we'll lead an informal conversation with our guests about a key book that has helped them develop their analysis and theory of change. We recognize that political study is not accessible to many for a variety of reasons: financial, academic jargon, low literacy rates, time barriers, etc. We'll summarize, talk through key concepts and vocab, and nerd out on the main ideas and questions raised in the book. Our goal is to be a resource that brings key information out of these books to the masses during this moment of urgency. Each episode will be about an hour long or less.
