    Episode 63 | El Salvador’s guerrilla Radio Venceremos
    2025/08/22
    The 1980s were a time of war El Salvador. The government openly attacked its citizens. Repression. Murder. Massacres.

    Radio Venceremos broadcasted twice a day. And it was a voice of truth. A voice of reason. A voice of resistance amid the violence and the government repression and the military bloodshed. They spoke truth to power. They offered hope to the masses—the people praying for change. Praying that El Salvador could be different. That one day they would not have to live in fear.

    This is episode 63 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

    Episode 62 | Chile's Bulnes Bridge: Remembering the past, honoring the victims
    2025/08/15
    It is not a pretty bridge. Four lanes of busy traffic rush across Puente Bulnes during most hours. To the North, it buttresses against two overpasses that lead to a bustling highway. Below it, run the milky grey waters of the Mapocho River, after passing through downtown Santiago, Chile.

    50 years ago, in another time, this bridge was a favorite execution site for the military and police of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Today, Aquiles Cordova will not let it be forgotten—ever.

    Episode 61 | Mexican salt farmers are holding on to an ancient tradition
    2025/08/06
    There is a place, tucked into the mountains and hills near the border between the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Puebla, where local campesinos continue to practice an ancestral tradition. They are salt farmers. And they are the last of their kind. But they are holding on. Holding on to the past in the present. Holding on to their tradition, culture and livelihood. Resisting amid the ancient salt pools in the cactus-studded hills of Mexico.

  • Episode 60 | In the Land of the Condor

    Episode 60 | In the Land of the Condor
    2025/07/30
    In the land of the Condor, near the base of the tallest mountain in the Western hemisphere, an Incan community lived. The people hunted, along the sheer hillsides, they farmed, they collected water from the river gushing from snowmelt. They had children, built families, and passed on traditions to generations of descendants.

    The land was cold, inhospitable, but their village grew and their community thrived at the far Southern reaches of the vast Incan empire, in present-day Argentina. Today, centuries have passed, the people are gone, but the stones and dirt that made their homes remain. The stories and language of their ancestors have been lost to time. But their spirits remain. And the ruins remember.

    This is episode 60 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

  • Episode 59 | Defending Their Land: Black communities resist Brazilian space center

    Episode 59 | Defending Their Land: Black communities resist Brazilian space center
    2025/07/25
    On the Northeastern Brazilian coast, in the region of Alcântara, Maranhão, there are dozens of traditional villages of Black communities. Their families have lived here for generations — farming and fishing. They are known as quilombos. These villages were founded by their ancestors, who were either freed or who escaped enslavement on the plantations of Brazil.

    There are thousands of quilombos across Brazil. But only a small number have the titles to their lands. And many are under threat from development projects, resource extraction, Big Ag, and real estate. This was the story in Alcântara, where these communities have faced removal and threats from Brazil’s Alcântara Space Center.

    But they have fought back.

    Episode 58 | Fighting fascists in Spain: The Abraham Lincoln Brigade
    2025/07/16
    On July 17, 1936, the Nazi-backed Spanish General Federico Franco led an armed rebellion against the Spanish government. It began a bloody civil war that would last for years. Thousands of people left their homes and traveled to Spain to stand up and defend its democratically elected government against Franco and fascism. Roughly 35,000 people from more than 50 countries would join the Spanish International Brigade. Of those internacionalistas, roughly 3,000 men and women came from the United States and volunteered to fight. They founded the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.

    Episode 57 | Brazil: Thousands protest Trump's tariffs and interference in Brazilian courts
    2025/07/11
    Thousands on the streets of Brazil, Sao Paulo’s Paulista Avenue packed, angry and protesting US President Donald Trump and his imposition of 50% tariffs on Brazilian products. Trump’s new tariffs on Brazil are in response to the country’s trial against Trump ally, former far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is accused of leading a “criminal organization” that looked to stop his successor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from assuming the presidency after he won the 2022 elections. The Brazilian courts will decide. Trump has other plans. But Brazilian leaders say they won’t back down. “If there's one thing a government cannot tolerate, it's interference by one country in the sovereignty of another,” said Brazilian President Lula. “And even more seriously, interference by a president of another country in the Brazilian justice system.”This is episode 57 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.
