In late December, Urban Praxis’ Josh Akers was the guest on Wade’s World, a weekly broadcast on KABF in Little Rock focused on organizing and poor people’s campaigns around the world.
The topic of this show, hosted by longtime organizer Wade Rathke, ranged from tax foreclosures to land contracts and evictions and the work of organizations opposing speculators and displacement through direct action in Detroit.
