Hello {{ first name | friends}}, the podcast isn’t due to resume for another couple of weeks, but as I sit here in the Caribbean, I’ve been thinking about what the invasion of Venezuela by the US means in general, and what it means for us as anti-racists. This was an in-the-moment recording - I may have more to say on this another time.
Venezuela Invasion - Capitalism and Colonialism- SARN Minis #79 Transcript
Hi, I'm Sharon Hurley Hall. Welcome to the Sharon's Anti-Racism Newsletter podcast, SARN Minis.
This was not how I was expecting to start out the podcast run for 2026.
