A call to action! Protest French state repression, with Comrade Kat

Mansa is joined by Comrade Kat of the Partisan Defence Committee (PDC), a non-sectarian social and legal defence organisation that is part of building international solidarity to defend pro-Palestine and trade union activists in France. She motivates why the left must unite in common action to build these protests because an injury to one is an injury to all, and explains other ways you can help if you are not able to attend a protest.

**CORRECTION: I stupidly spoke about Rodrigue Petitot thinking this his case was related to the uprising in Kanaki - another French colony - last year, but he is from Martinique as Kat notes. This is resultant from my less than adequate knowledge of the various colonies France still has under its boot. - Mansa
