Fresh Air · Boots Riley wants to 'compel and repel' you · 13 May 2026 podcast

You got to plan the caravan thing.

We're doing this door-to-door thing.

So it was like, you know, and I was willing to do more because I wasn't where anybody knew me.

Like, you know, 15 years old, you're trying to be cool and you don't want people to see you doing certain things.

I would have never, like, walked up to someone and passed them a flyer because it was...

Maybe they'll think that's nerdy or something like that.

I don't know.

But I got involved doing all that stuff.

So then I get back to school.

And one of the first thing and I'm totally I'm a revolutionary at that point.

I'm a communist by then.

And I'm like, OK.

So I so I start using these ideas of how to get people involved.

And there was a bunch of students and me started this this.

Walk out against year round schools.

It's pretty easy to get high schoolers to walk out against the idea of going to school year round.

And so you get 2000 students to walk out, get 2000 students to walk out.

And, you know, this is very different than what I'm doing because I'm invest.

I know everybody.

And, you know, so I so I have the bullhorn and we're in front of the school.
