Note: The recording took place 24 hours before
the public hearing at the Guam Congress Building on Bill
242-38.
Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie and TRN comrade Tåhdong talk
with Melvin Won Pat-Borja (Executive Director, Guam Commission on
Decolonization) and Michael Lujan Bevacqua (Co-Chair, Independent
Guåhan) about why Bill 242-38 would erase a Native-Inhabitant–led
vote and violate CHamoru self-determination. We cover Guåhan and
Micronesia’s decolonization history, the ways U.S. citizenship is
switched on/off by a militarized agenda, how an Independent
Micronesia could shift Guam from being America's "tip of the spear"
to a bridge of peace between East and West, and why Indigenous
solidarity is more powerful than spam.
