Episode description
Like your life depends on it. Like your children's lives depend on it. Like the health and welfare of the planet depends on it. We are at a crucial moment in American history. If you ever wondered what that would feel like/look like, you're in it RIGHT NOW. Our country is on the precipice of going in one of two completely diametrically opposed directions. Either we go towards America being what it can be and keep the promise or we descend into a realm of division of which we may not recover. One of the major keys to doing something about the direction we go in is your ability to engage your sphere of influence however big or small that may be and encourage and demand people educate themselves on the issues and VOTE.
In this episode we cover the current fights to keep voting a sound and credible institution against the attacks of the Trump administration and his cronies . We talk about voter suppression tactics, voter intimidation, and lies and misinformation that are the hallmarks of the times we're living in. We also talk about the importance of voting locally, being registered, and how much of a profound impact local political engagement can have.
To round out our show we say the names of two of our fallen due to state-sanctioned violence "Walter Scott" and "Dominique Clayton" and we highlight two people, Kendrick Sampson and Scotty Smart, doing great work in their respective communities.
This might be our most important show so far. As always and right on time, thanks so much for hanging with us as we Unlearn the BS and Relearn the good stuff.
