Episode 03: Elmer Dixon, Histories of Community Care

Histories Community Care with Elmer Dixon

How do we build community through care, creativity, and shared responsibility? Elmer Dixon reflects on his life before, during, and after co-founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party. Drawing from his memoir Die Standing, Elmer and Natasha discuss growing up in politically aware households, launching survival programs that addressed urgent community needs, and the profound connection between activism and creative expression through storytelling.

This episode is a reminder that in honouring the past and reflecting in the present, we are empowered to continue to build sustainable movements for future generations.
