In this episode of Hard Left News Calpi & Todd had an important talk with Author, Educator & Activist Race Bannon. We all discussed Race’s most recent book, his history of activism, politics & direct action, fascism and what that means for the kink, queer, trans and non-binary communities, as well as vetting and creating safer spaces.
Race Bannon has been an organizer, writer, publisher, educator, commentator, leader, speaker, and activist in the LGBTQ, leather/kink, polyamory, and HIV/STI prevention realms since 1973. He is an author, widely published writer, active speaker, community organizer and project leader, and has received numerous national and local awards. Race is one of the authors and editors of a new book, Kink Is, highlighting kinksters from around the world set to be published by Unbound Edition Press in September 2024. He’s also a regular cast member of the online series, On Guard Cigar Salon.
