afropunk mixtape #060: download power

It’s hard to sum up a year that’s seen rising oppression the world over at the same time as globe-spanning networks fighting for racial, economic, and ecological justice. It’s harder still to sum up a decade full of the same extremes. The one clear lesson is that the power is in these global networks and it is ours for the taking.
