As the Biden Administration approaches its halfway mark. We know that Blacks put this Administration in office just off of the South Carolina primary alone. But they expected to see something from the Biden Administration in the areas of: voting rights, reparations, and addressing white supremacist violence, yet very little if anything in these areas has come from the Biden Administration. We are joined by two members of the Movement for Black Lives, Dr. Amara Enyia and Montague Simmons who will share their take on these shortcomings and what the Movement for Black Lives is doing to build the power to get these priorities accomplished, in spite of a conservative House.

Today on Sojourner Truth hosted by guest host Nana Gyamfi, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has made it clear from press conferences from NYC to Texas and back that he doesn't want any more asylum-seekers coming to the City. New York City has seen 36,400 asylum seekers arrive as of Jan. 4th this year, but keeping asylum seekers out of NY is not a real solution so what can be done? We are joined by Carl Hamad Lipscombe, the Executive Director of Envision Freedom Fund, an organization committed to dismantling and transforming the immigration and criminal legal systems in NYC. We discuss this issue and contextualize past and present immigration reforms that disqualify recent arrivals from Africa and African descent from being able to acquire asylum or fix their immigration status in the U.S. On Wednesday January 18th, Atlanta Law enforcement officers shot and killed Atlanta forest defender and activist Manuel Tortuguita Terá. Atlanta Police — including a SWAT team — were violently evicting protesters who had occupied a wooded area outside a proposed $90 million training facility known as “Cop City,” inside Weelaunee Forest, a public forest in Georgia. Kamau Franklin, the founder of Community Movement Builders, a grassroots organization dedicated to creating sustainable Black communities through organizing and cooperative development, joins us to discuss the opposition from community members to “Cop City” and what organizers and community members are calling for since this violent raid.

Today on Sojourner Truth with guest host Nana Gyamfi, Professor Christopher Gaffney joins us at the top of the hour to talk about the injustices masked behind the mega sports event being hosted by Qatar, the World Cup. From unsafe working conditions to displacement, what is the environmental and economic impact that mainstream media is obscuring? Dr. Amara Enyia joins us in the second half of the program to discuss the forthcoming UN Permanent Forum on Peoples of African Descent and her role spearheading the permanence of this forum to help continue the legacy of efforts by the Global Black Diaspora to address global anti-Black racism and its vestiges to the world body. Finally we conclude with the recent announcement by a federal district Court in Washington DC that ordered the Biden administration to end its use of Title 42, an archaic health policy weaponized by President Trump, to prevent asylum-seekers from entering the United States. Over a million migrants have been expelled at the border without an asylum hearing under the policy. The Biden administration set a record, expelling over 26K Haitians in just the past year alone. Joining us to talk about the impact of Title 42 and what we might expect next is Ronald Claude, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI).

MODERATOR | Karen MEENAN, Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health SPEAKERS (1) Tracy JOOSTE, Head of Special Projects, International Budget Partnership (IBP), South Africa & Atlantic Fellow for Social and Economic Equity.

In this "best of MIP" episode, Dr. Amara Enyia of the Policy and Research Coordinator for Movement for Black Lives details a report the organization released, which demonstrates how the United States government persecutes activists with the hope of dissuading them from taking any kind of political action. Though it's easy to blame red states like Florida for putting laws in place that would criminalize peaceful protest, the Biden administration is not off the hook, as they have yet to take meaningful action to prevent that criminalization of protestors. Dr. Enyia also points to the disparity in language when discussing those who participated in protests, like those for George Floyd or Breonna Taylor, compared to those who participated in the January 6th insurrection.

In August, the United Nations General Assembly moved to create a Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. There was pushback. Yet, on an international level, the demand for a reckoning with anti-Blackness reverberates around the world. Advocates know learning about the African Diaspora, histories of anti-Blackness and the need for reparations is more important than ever.Consider this: The British government paid the equivalent of 17 billion pounds (in today's currency) to compensate slave owners for the lost capital associated with abolition. These reparations debts by the British government to slaveowners and their descendants were paid off in 2015.  How does this hidden history fit into contemporary discourse about global slavery, Black Lives Matter, civil rights and more?  We're diving right in with a very special guest:Dr. Amara Enyia, a public policy expert and strategist. She is also the managing director of Diaspora Rising, a transnational advocacy organization working on issues of concern to the Global Black Diaspora around the world.  Rate and review “On the Issues with Michele Goodwin" to let us know what you think of the show!

Dr. Enyia also uses her expertise to help us understand what is happening in Haiti right now, following the assassination of the country's president, Jovenel Moïse.

INDIVISIBLE CHICAGO PODCAST SHOW NOTES FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2019 On Wednesday, February 13, Indivisible Chicago hosted Conversations with Chicago mayoral candidates Lori Lightfoot and Amara Enyia. A few hundred voters filled the Second Presbyterian Church on South Michigan where Tom and Marj Halperin co-moderated the event. While Indivisible Chicago is not making an endorsement in this race, we saw this as an opportunity to get the word out about a couple of candidates who address our Progressive Principles, but who haven’t had the resources to saturate the media markets with their messages. This week, the ICP presents those conversations in their entirety.

Mayoral hopeful Amara Enyia's the guest on our AT ISSUE program with Craig Dellimore this weekend and you can hear more of her thoughts Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.        Enyia says her campaign is mounting a "Get Out The Vote" effort like nothing the City has seen before.  

One day after forging their politically potent, inter-generational partnership, Dorothy Brown and Amara Enyia put it to work in an attempt to blow a hole in Preckwinkle's central argument: that she is a “boss” with the guts to use that strength to deliver for the average Joe.

Amara Enyia joins us in studio to explain why she’s the best candidate to lead Chicago. Former federal prosecutor and longtime white-collar defense attorney Patrick Cotter discusses the federal investigations of aldermen Burke & Solis.

Mayoral candidate, Amara Enyia joins Dan and Amy to discuss her platform and high profile supporters like Chance the Rapper and Kanye West.

Chance the Rapper is not only throwing his celebrity power and fundraising muscle behind Amara Enyia. He's giving her his time and his ideas on how to confront Chicago's issues, the mayoral candidate said Friday. Chief among those ideas, Enyia said, is their shared plan to bolster mental health services decimated by clinic closings and state funding cuts and bring “equity” to student funding in the Chicago Public Schools.

Matt botches the "freedom is an endless meeting" joke yet again, and Hilary explains why writing a constitution is the most deeply science fictional thing you could do.

Independent journalism has been the site to locate incisive analysis and perspectives typically passed over by the hegemony established by mainstream, corporate media. Speaking truth to power is a phrase often spoken, and arguably, a central tenet to independent journalism, and community produced media.
