Project 2025 bills itself as a comprehensive plan to undo decades of social progress - in its own words, to “dismantle the administrative state” and “return self-governance to the American people.” Democrats have jumped into using it and its connections to the Trump agenda and former staff as a reason to rally behind Joe Biden.Among its 922-page Mandate for Leadership, Project 2025 suggests eliminating the Department of Education, increasing the US nuclear weapon arsenal, harshly limiting access to reproductive care, rolling back LGBTQ rights and much more.We're joined by political strategist and movement journalist Anoa Changa to understand who's behind Project 2025 and where it comes from.Support the Show.

The expulsion of two Black elected Representatives from Tennessee's state government continues a long, racist tradition of the removal of Black people in political power in the United States. From the founding of the country through the Reconstruction era and to the modern day,  white supremacy and capitalism have used every weapon at their disposal to disenfranchise Black voters and legislators.Also being ignored in media conversation around Tennessee is the reason behind the expulsion: that Representatives Jones, Pearson and Johnson were part of a march of 7,000 young people after the shooting at The Covenant School.We discuss ongoing attacks on basic democratic rights like voting, building movements and more with political strategist Anoa Changa.Support the show

In this rebroadcast episode from 2021, Maria and Julio are joined by Jeanne Theoharis, distinguished professor of political science at Brooklyn College, historian, author and co-editor of “Julian Bond's Time To Teach: A History of the Southern Civil Rights Movement.” They talk about the legacy of activist, politician and educator Julian Bond and the lessons from his lectures - compiled in the new book - on the civil rights movement and what it teaches us about the fight for racial justice and radical change. ITT Staff Picks:  “Critics of Black Lives Matter have held up King as a foil to the movement's criticisms of law enforcement, but those are views that King himself shared,” writes Jeanne Theoharis in this 2021 essay for The Atlantic.  Patrick Darrington spoke to the authors of “Prophet of Discontent: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Critique of Racial Capitalism,” about why Dr. King should be firmly situated within the Black radical tradition, for Teen Vogue.  “We cannot all those who continue to harm our communities preach peace and patience while profiting off our collective misery. Honoring King and the beloved community demands more of each of us and our contributions to the greater good,” writes Anoa Changa for NewsOne.  Photo credit: The Associated Press  

Julio is joined by Anjali Enjeti, author and co-founder of the Georgia chapter of They See Blue, and Anoa Changa, journalist and editor at NewsOne, to unpack the results of the Georgia Senate runoff election, and what it signals about party dynamics in the state and across the country. They get into voting issues in Georgia, including barriers to voting, the impact of organizing and voter outreach, and what we can expect in the next Senate session. ITT Staff Picks:  Anoa Changa writes about her experience trying to vote in the Georgia runoff election and how a new state law, SB 202, has impacted the voting process in this piece for NewsOne.  “Thus, not only do Southern voters face serious barriers to voting, but GOP gerrymandered congressional and state legislative districts have reduced the value of their votes,” writes Anjali Enjeti about the barriers that Southern voters, especially Black and brown voters, face at the polls in this op-ed for the Los Angeles Times.  Matthew Brown writes about the racist history of the Georgia runoff election system, and how it was created to “dilute Black voting power,” in this piece for The Washington Post.  Photo credit: AP Photo/Brynn Anderson, File

On today's show we discuss the deep implications that the Supreme Court's decision to take up Harper v Moore could have on the fundamental institution of U.S. democracy. The Supreme Court's ruling on this case could rip the mask off of the sham of U.S. democracy and reveal the clear dictatorship of the rich. The recent overturn of Roe, the ongoing January 6th committee hearings, and now the turn towards overturning the fundamental democratic principle of 1 person 1 vote marks a new period of political struggle in the United States. We are joined by Anoa Changa, southern based movement journalist and editor at NewsOne.In addition, Monday marked the 1 year anniversary of the failed U.S. backed anti-government protests in Cuba. As the crisis of inflation continues and the embargo is still crushing the Cuban people, we look at what real democracy for workers could look like.Support the show

In this episode, we are on the ground after the oral arguments in one of the most important Supreme Court cases of a generation. On December 1, the Supreme Court held oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization—a case that some believe could overturn Roe v. Wade. The case involves a Mississippi abortion provision, banning most abortions after 15 weeks, with no exceptions for rape or incest. So, what's at stake in Dobbs—both in terms of abortion rights, and in terms of the Supreme Court's legitimacy?    Joining me to address these issues and more are a group of special guests:  Hillary Schneller: Hillary Schneller is a senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, and is co-lead counsel (along with Julie Rikelman) in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which the Supreme Court heard earlier this month.   Brigitte Amiri: Brigitte Amiri is deputy director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project and expert in reproductive rights law.   Aziza Ahmed: Aziza Ahmed is a professor of law at the University of California, Irvine. She is also the author of the forthcoming book Feminism's Medicine: Law, Science, and Social Movements in the AIDS Response, to be published by Cambridge University Press.   Renee Bracey Sherman: Renee Bracey Sherman is an activist, writer and reproductive justice activist, focusing on the visibility and representation of people who have abortions in media and pop culture. She is the founder and executive director of We Testify, an organization dedicated to the leadership and representation of people who have abortions.  Shannon Brewer: Shannon Brewer is the clinic director at Jackson Women's Health Organization, the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi. She has worked at the clinic for 20 years.   Special thanks to the contributing journalist Anoa Changa for interview work on this episode. Support the show (http://msmagazine.com)

On today's show we will start off with the slashing - not the halloween kind of slashing - but rather the slashing of the budget reconciliation bill by not the republicans, but the Democrats. We get into what this means and it's impact with Anoa Changa host of the podcast The Way with Anoa. The ongoing trial of Kyle Rittenhouse continues forward and despite being right at the beginning we already get a sense of his this trial will go when the judge announced that the defense can refer to the people that Rittenhouse killed as “rioters” and “looters.” Finally, Betsy DeVos got swindled out of nearly $100 million by biotech company Theranos. The best irony here is that the DeVos family made their millions off of Amway, a well known Muti-Level Marketing scheme, and they are responsible for lobbying to keep these scams going. So it seems the scammers got scammed!

May 25 marks the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Floyd's death-captured on video that showed Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes-sparked a global uprising in defense of Black lives and against police brutality. But amid the coverage of protests in the wake of Floyd's death, media attention rarely focused on the ways communities impacted by police violence were organizing to keep each other safe, in Minneapolis and beyond. Atlanta-based journalist Anoa Changa and Laura Rosbrow-Telem out of Oakland, CA reported and produced this episode for Reimagining a Better World - a special report, from YES! Media and Public News Service, that looks at two emerging strategies that communities are using to help redefine public safety without police.

Anoa Changa is a journalist, retired attorney, and host of the podcast "The Way with Anoa.” She joins MIP today to discuss some of her latest reporting, which includes the revisionist history that Rep. Justin Lafferty recently pushed while discussing the three-fifths compromise, and Anoa explains how his (and others’) attempt to rewrite the truth of the past speaks to the larger issue about what is being taught in classrooms across the country. Anoa also digs into New York Attorney General Letitia James’ recent project: coming for the GOP candidates that are trying their hand at disinformation and voter suppression. Mark and Anoa also discuss Rep. Cori Bush’s recent remarks on “Black birthing people” and how the criticism focuses solely on her gender-neutral language and misses Rep. Bush’s point entirely.

Autumn was recently invited to take part in a really fun, mind-bending panel called Organizers in Space. The event was co-hosted by Annie Weinberg, electoral organizer, coach, and strategist for progressive campaigns along with The Movement School and the Forge. You can watch the entire event HERE. Building a more just, reflective democracy and landing a spacecraft on another planet are both epic, deeply collective human endeavors - and practitioners of both crafts faced huge tests in 2020 and 2021. In the midst of a global pandemic, a reckoning around white supremacist violence, racialized capitalism, and what it means to have a truly reflective democracy - what can movement organizing and space exploration teach each other right now? With the recent successful Mars Perseverance Mission Landing as a jumping-off point, and pulling from some of the ideas of Octavia Butler, the visionary writer and now the namesake of the official landing site on Mars, we discuss what these crafts have in common.” We talk about predictable emergencies, radical imagination, and contingency planning; about creating structures that unearth collective genius, to do things that may have not been done before; about scalability, effective metric-setting, and competing priorities; about holding on to a sense of awe, in the face of challenges and unknowabilities, and about what it means to, as JPL’s slogan says, “Dare Mighty Things”.“ Anoa Changa moderates this amazing conversation featuring Cj Giovingo and Autumn Brown. CJ is an organizer-turned-rocket-scientist and Jet Propulsion Lab systems engineer, who served as NASA/JPL’s Entry, Descent and Landing Activity Lead for Perseverance.

Dan Kovalik is an author and human rights & labor lawyer. His most recent book is “No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests,” talks to us about a case being heard in the Supreme Court about organizers’ access to worksites in California that may have a significant impact on labor organizing in the country beyond just farm laborers. We also talk about what this could mean for the National Labor Relations Board and the Biden administration, which has touted itself as one of the most labor-friendly. Peter Oliver, journalist and RT correspondent in Berlin, joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about the recent developments in the Nordstream 2 saga, how the threats of sanctions by U.S. could affect this project, the fight in Germany over its environmental impact, and how it could shape domestic politics there. We also talk about the new lockdowns in Europe due to COVID spikes, the struggles with their vaccine rollouts, and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s statements in Brussels regarding NATO in the context of US/EU relations and current tensions with China. In our Miss The Press segment , the Misfits talk about Chuck Tood convening a panel to discuss hate crimes against Asian Americans without a single Asian person present, the framing of the discussion of immigration being based off of right-wing talking points, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s comments on ending the conflict in Afghanistan. The Misfits also talk about new Miami curfews after spring break chaos, COVID cases rising in 21 states, and the recent floods ravaging Australia.

Join five prominent voices in movement journalism for an urgent discussion of community-centered reporting and the end of objectivity. Since its proliferation in the 1920s, objectivity has been used as a tool of journalism, developed to create neutrality in reporting. However, as journalist Ramona Martinez says, "Objectivity is the ideology of the status quo." What has been forgotten in media history is that there have always been journalists resisting even the largest journalism corporations and their unequal coverage of the marginalized communities. Recently there has been a rapid growth of those who call themselves movement journalists. These reporters seek to recenter community and directly impacted folks in their reporting instead of solely relying on the voice of institutions to create reporting that is factual, accurate, and speaks to the humanity of the people they report on. This conversation about the end of objectivity is held by panelists who are all a part of journalism organizations that work to bring authentic reporting and coverage to marginalized communities, including Just Media Project, Scalawag Magazine, Media 2070, and the Texas Observer.

Celebrations that erupted after Joe Biden was projected winner of the 2020 presidential election have turned to expressions of concern as it seems that Donald Trump never can say goodbye. We speak to professor Gerald Horne. And though Biden voters are breathing a sigh of relief left activists say not so fast: what will Biden do to address this country's reckoning with racism, state violence and the legacy of capitalist exploitation. We hear the address from Omali Yeshitela speaking at the Black Power Matters Rally and speak to Anoa Changa on Georgia and Garett Reppenhagen of Veterans for Peace.

The 2020 election is mostly wrapped up and one of the big takeaways is the profound effect of BIPOC organizers nationwide, from the Stacey Abrams juggernaut in Georgia, to the turnout among Native Americans in Arizona, even as Covid-19 ravages their communities. Today on Black Diplomats, host Terrell Starr talks to activist Dr. Melina Abdullah and journalist Anoa Changa about what Democrats owe BIPOC voters, how Joe Biden became the nominee in the first place, and what it’s going to take to repair the damage done by the Trump administration. Dr. Melina Abdullah is a recognized expert on race, gender, class, and social movements. She was among the original group of organizers that convened to form Black Lives Matter and continues to serve as a Los Angeles chapter leader. She is also Professor and former Chair of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. Dr. Abdullah earned her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in Political Science and her B.A. from Howard University in African American Studies. An organizer by nature and a lawyer by trade, Anoa Changa has a deep history of working within the realms of advocacy and justice. Her passion lies in building collaborative political spaces that fundamentally change the way communities and grassroots organizations engage with the social and political systems around us. Expanding on her experience as an attorney, Anoa has been a grassroots digital organizer and strategic advisor to several organizations.

Maria and Julio are joined by Anoa Changa, a freelance journalist based in Atlanta covering movements and electoral justice, and Aída Chávez, a journalist at The Intercept covering Congress and the impact of public policy on diverse communities. They talk about the 2020 election results and the Black, Indigenous, and Latinx voters who turned out at record numbers. They also look at what’s next in a Biden-Harris administration and how the dangers of white supremacy and Trumpism are not over.ITT Staff Picks: "Particularly in Maricopa County, a long-running organizing campaign against Sheriff Joe Arpaio pulled together a political constituency with its own motivations, community, and sense of identity," writes Aída Chavez and Ryan Grim for The Intercept.In her latest for Scalawag Magazine, Anoa Changa writes about the importance of local action and organizing — beyond the election — in continuing to fight state-run voter suppression and police brutality."We’ve always organized and fought back for a greater purpose. We’ve never had a choice to trust the nation’s institutions, and instead, organizers from the Black South challenged their white supermacist structure and ideology in every era," writes Taylor Crumpton about the Black radical tradition in the South for Teen Vogue.Credit: (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's an Election Special! As of Saturday, multiple media outlets have projected that Joe Biden will become the next president of the United States. Hosts Rachel and Hannah are joined by a panel of journalists and organizers to share their analyses of what the Biden victory means for the future of progressive politics. Panel voices are Anoa Changa, a journalist and host of "The Way with Anoa"; Julia Thomas, a member of the Digital team at Democracy Now; and Party for Socialism and Liberation organizer Naomi Li.

Barbara Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition; and Rev. Dr. Sharon Anderson, CEO of KCG Consulting and former associate professor at the Howard University School of Law and Georgetown Law, join us to discuss the US presidential election, the courts and whether constant lawsuits over vote counting are the future for the country. Since the counting started, there have been a bunch of lawsuits, mostly by the Trump campaign, regarding access for observers. There have also been lawsuits in several states regarding which votes could be counted and what the results have been. Should we look at these legal fights launched by the Trump campaign and think that US election and voting laws are pretty weak and unsettled? Or, on the contrary, should we conclude that the laws and courts are functioning as they should, and these lawsuits are just harassment?Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss medical education during a pandemic and a new Hippocratic Oath that addresses racism. The new oath comes from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's Class of 2024. In September, students in the class "started a new tradition by writing their own class oath to acknowledge their ever-evolving responsibilities as physicians," a release from the university noted. It acknowledges “the fundamental failings of our health care and political systems in serving vulnerable communities.” It is intended as a “first step in our enduring commitment to repairing the injustices against those historically ignored and abused in medicine: Black patients, Indigenous patients, Patients of Color and all marginalized populations who have received substandard care as a result of their identity and limited resources.” But what will the students taking this oath be up against as they try to uphold it while going through medical school and into their own practices?Anoa Changa, writer, activist, lawyer and journalist, joins us to discuss the elections in Georgia. The presidential race seems to be coming to a close, but the state will have not one but two US Senate seats heading to runoff elections on January 5, 2021. One race will be Republican Sen. David Perdue vs. Democrat Jon Ossoff, and the other race will be GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler - who has never won an election - vs. Democratic Pastor Raphael Warnock. Just about every Democrat has come forward with advice on how best to win each seat. On one side, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her allies have warned Georgia Democrats to not run too far to the left, or they will blow their chances in both contests. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said during a Thursday caucus call that if “we are going to run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we're not going to win," Politico reported. "But Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, thought differently, jumping in on a Democratic Party strategy call to defend liberal ideas, saying that’s what keeps the Democratic base motivated to turn out and vote," the outlet noted. How do Democrats win these two Senate seats in Georgia? What is the path?

The idea of paying Black Americans reparations for slavery has been around for a long time, but it’s starting to get more support than ever. So we ask: If the country does agree to pay up, how do you calculate the bill? And how could the U.S. come up with that kind of cash? To find out, we talk to historian and farmer Leah Penniman, economist Prof. William Darity Jr., public policy scholar Assistant Prof. Naomi Zewde, and Ebony Pickett.  UPDATE 10/30/20: An earlier version of this episode said that the average White person who didn't finish high school makes more money than the average Black person who graduated from college. The actual statistic is about net worth, rather than income, so we removed this reference. We’ve updated the episode.

Every Wednesday, leading up to the American Presidential elections, The Polis Project will host activists, organizers, writers, reporters, and progressive voices as a part of our Politics Podcast. They don’t just tell you what happened. They inform you of the issues, policies, and legislation that matter to their communities, beyond the headlines. This week we speak to Samia Assed, an activist from New Mexico and a Democratic Party delegate, and Azad Essa, New York-based reported for Middle East Eye. Earlier this month, Middle East Eye's New York-based reporter Azad Essa published a scathing report on Emgage, a prominent US-based Advocacy organization that claims to advocate for American Muslims. It argues that "Emgage's rise to prominence in the 2020 US election is not a story of a group that advocates for Muslim communities, but rather of one that has served to mute their voices". The report raises some important and difficult questions. Who gets to speak and advocate for American Muslims? In the name of having a seat at the table, do issues that matter to Muslim Americans get delegitimized by those who claim to speak on their behalf? More importantly, how these actions affect the fight against Zionist ideologies and how they have failed to acknowledge and counter the rise of right-wing Hindutva forces and their role in American elections. You can find Essa's report here: https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/joe-biden-emgage-muslim-america-us-elections The podcast is available in video and audio formats.

Trump’s attacks on Black protesters and Black people are inextricably bound to the arguments he will make to try to invalidate the election. In this episode, Kelly talks with voting rights activist Anoa Changa about how you can defend voting rights in the homestretch of the presidential race.

Ted Rall, author and award-winning political cartoonist, explains the upheaval between the DNC and supporters of US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Just three weeks from the Democratic National Convention, "more than 360 delegates, most of whom back Sanders, have signed on to a pledge to vote against the Democratic Party’s platform if it does not include support for 'Medicare for All,'" Politico reported Monday. Also, on Friday, the Washington Post settled its lawsuit with Nicolas Sandmann over its coverage of Sandmann and a group of teens from Covington Catholic High School who were near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, for the March for Life and a group of Native American demonstrators in the same area for the Indigenous Peoples March on January 18, 2019. And is Antifa the new boogeyman?Mitchell Plitnick, political analyst, writer and president of ReThinking Foreign Policy, covers the protests in Israel. While the US is locked in its own COVID-19 and economic crises, the huge protests in Israel right now aren’t getting as much attention. Israelis are confronting their government over its handling of the coronavirus and the corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Anoa Changa, writer, activist, lawyer and journalist, talks about Garrett Foster, who was shot and killed on Saturday in Austin, Texas, by a man driving a car through a crowd of protesters during a peaceful march; uprisings in Portland and Seattle, Washington; a ProPublica report on the New York Police Department; and Black mayors tackling police reform without "defunding the police."
