Groundings

Booking Overview

This is a political education and movement-history interview show focused on organizing, Black liberation, anti-imperialism, healthcare justice, prison struggles, and grassroots activism, typically featuring authors, scholars, organizers, and subject-matter experts. Agencies could credibly pitch movement organizers, academics and authors, clinicians specializing in medical or reproductive justice, and experts on prison abolition or racial capitalism; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need substantial firsthand experience, research, or published work in these areas.
