Greetings!

The kids are here.

They say student repression. We say connection.

They say fascism. We say liberation.

They build walls. We build communities.

They demand silence. We raise our voices.

They sow fear. We organize for freedom.

Prison Radio just welcomed a new cohort of 30 summer interns!

At a moment when campuses are under attack, dissent is being criminalized, and fear is too often used as a political weapon, investing in young organizers is an act of hope.

Every summer we put those words into action.

The Summer ’26 cohort is joining a long tradition of young people who refuse to accept the world as it is. Over the coming weeks, they’ll learn from movement veterans, collaborate with our staff, and help amplify the voices of incarcerated journalists, artists, and freedom fighters whose insights are too often excluded from public conversation.

“Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.” – Frantz Fanon

Interns and staff on a Zoom call

Our interns will help produce podcasts, conduct research, preserve movement history, create digital media, and bring fresh energy and ideas to our work. Just as importantly, they’ll become part of a community committed to abolition, justice, and collective liberation.

Meet Clare Buran UC Santa Cruz’s Transforming Justice Fellow and Prison Radio 26 Summer intern. As a student activist, Clare understands that the stakes are not abstract. She knows what it means to risk arrest for speaking out, and she knows that for many students and organizers, the consequences of activism can include detention, surveillance, and profound personal sacrifice.

At Prison Radio, an internship isn’t just job training. It’s political education. It’s relationship building. It’s learning that movements are strongest when wisdom is shared across generations and when young people are trusted not simply to inherit the future, but to transform it.

The future is unwritten. We cannot promise an easy road, nor can we predict what tomorrow will bring. But we can choose what we invest in today.

We choose hope. We choose solidarity. We choose the young people who are already organizing, learning, questioning, and leading with courage. We choose to believe that when generations come together, they can accomplish what none could achieve alone.



If you share that belief, we hope you’ll stand with us. Your contribution is an investment not just in a program or an organization, but in the people who will shape the future—and in the communities that will help them do it.

Why Your Support Matters

Prison Radio is a lifeline for incarcerated people, providing a platform to share their stories and shine a light on the darkest corners of the prison industrial complex. Each story we amplify is a call to action, exposing systemic abuse and building the power needed for change.



Together, we can bring these stories to light and make a difference in the fight for justice.

For the World We Deserve,
