Bill Ayers was a cofounder of the militant leftist group the Weather Underground, which was formed in opposition to U.S. imperialism in Vietnam and racial injustice. After living underground for years to avoid FBI arrest, he has been an engaged scholar and activist who has written extensively about social justice and teaching.
He's also the host of podcast Under the Tree: a Seminar on Freedom, which Dame and Kiss helped him build, and a loving mentor to Chicago's movement community.
He comes through to talk about the heightened contradictions of this political moment, the ways the Weather Underground lives on in popular culture, the pride he feels for his children's achievements, and much more.

new podcast social justice thought provoking political
“I can make a film, and we can show examples of people having what they need.”
AirGo is joined by Sarah Oberholtzer, a filmmaker, educator, community organizer, and Respair collaborator who has just put some excellent art into the world. Sarah is the creator of We Call Each Other, a heartfelt short film about a community moving through drought and environmental racism. Weaving nonfiction recorded audio into a scripted story, it features characters who lean on one another to build safety and repair without relying on prisons or police.
Built through a collaborative abolitionist writers room, the project is a great example of what it looks like to make new political realities legible. Sarah and the guys talk about the evolution of the project, how we need your support to make the second installment of the series come to fruition, and the relationship between faith and abolition.
