Forward / Scratch is excited to present THREAT ADVISORY, a monthly program on 8 Ball Radio. The show roots itself in international solidarity, and aims to share the songs and histories of the fight for liberation of oppressed people. Each month a guest or organization discusses their cultural work, their diasporic history, and the soundtrack that empowers their movements. The music featured on the show includes songs by artists who unapologetically speak truth to power, some of whom were exiled or assassinated for doing so. As cultural workers, organizers, and consumers we choose to continue this legacy of speaking truth to power, and to inspire and educate our communities.
THREAT ADVISORY's second episode features a conversation with Juventud Unida por la Independencia aka. JUPI, a Puerto Rican diaspora organization dedicated to educating, organizing, and mobilizing Boricua youth, students, and their allies for an independent, anti-imperialist, and socialist Puerto Rico. Listen to the episode aired on March 3, 2025.
