June's episode of The Thread features interviews with Kinetik Justice, the leader of the Free Alabama Movement and the recent Alabama prison strike, and Cheri Honkala, the founder of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign and former Vice Presidential candidate. Kinetik Justice is currently incarcerated at Holman Correctional Facility [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holman_Correctional_Facility], and because of his involvement with the prison strike, is being held in solitary confinement [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odcsxUbVyZA]. Kinetik gives an incredibly detailed look at how they went about organizing the prison strike, the networks created within the State prison system, and the reasons for their strike. They also talk about the predecessors to the strike and what led to the current organizing.
