Guest: Arisha HatchCo-Host: Jayar JacksonUsing hard evidence gathered from Google Trends, Trump and Fox & Friends promote the idea that Americans who have already voted are trying to change their Biden votes to Trump votes. Rather than provide COVID-19 relief, the Senate has confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in a near party-line vote. In a move that could disenfranchise voters across the state, the Supreme Court has ruled that ballots in Wisconsin can not be counted if they are not received by 8pm on election day. The White House sends JARED out to recruit Black voters. New reporting shows Wall Street has poured millions of dollars into the campaign of AOC's Republican challenger. CNN has recovered audio from 2015 in which Press Secretary Kayliegh McEnany describes Joe Biden as "funny and likable" and a "man of the people". Arisha Hatch, Executive Director of Color Of Change PAC, joins to discuss their work in the run up to the election. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The U.S. has observed a week of mourning since Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, in addition to partisan warfare regarding her replacement. Senate Republicans have decided they will move to confirm President Trump's nominee ahead of the general election. His announcement is expected Saturday. President Trump has said that the election could be decided by the Supreme Court and has implied that a justice appointed by him would be loyal in any case involving the election. NBC News National Political Reporter Sahil Kapur discusses what we can expect from the nomination process from now through the election. Wisconsin is among the few states that played a decisive factor in Hillary Clinton's 2016 loss. This year, the state made headlines because of a flawed primary election that took place towards the beginning of the pandemic. Election officials struggled to keep up with absentee ballot requests, thousands of mail ballots were ultimately rejected, and when it came to in-person voting, photos of people waiting in line for hours, at the height of the pandemic, went viral. Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe, Politics Reporter and Washington Bureau Chief for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Craig Gilbert, and Wisconsin Public Radio’s Laurel White dissect Wisconsin's political landscape and share how seriously we should be taking polling. Also, Black voters are the backbone of the Democratic Party. They are one of the party's most reliable voting blocs and failing to secure their votes will have significant electoral consequences. There is also a significant generational gap between younger Black Americans who feel alienated from traditional politics and older Black voters who are typically loyal to the Democratic Party. Vice President and Chief of Campaigns at Color of Change Arisha Hatch shares how Black voters are thinking about the voting process. These conversations are part of a series called Every Vote Counts.

If you're looking to support an organization that is doing the literal work to dismantle systemic racism, then look no further than Color of Change. Their team goes straight to the sources that are contributing to and supporting white supremacy--like the time they successfully pressured Mastercard to stop processing funds for hate groups and white supremacist organizations. Arisha Hatch is the Vice President and Chief of Campaigns and she joins today's episode to tell us about what they've got their sights set on next: cop reality shows that glorify and romanticize police brutality and racism. They're looking to get the show "Cops" off the air for good, and in the process, they're shining a light on sketchy relationships between production companies and police departments that let the departments be choosy about what content is shared and sometimes, evidence just happens to go missing. Lastly, this conversation would not be complete without discussing the org's hard work to fix Facebook, which is "too big and too powerful to no longer be regulated," says Arisha.

0:08 – Arisha Hatch, Vice President and Chief of Campaigns at Color Of Change, discusses the impact of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent protests on the 2020 elections, and the political opportunities that have opened up. She says the protests have “dramatically changed the conversation” for candidates on the local, state, and national levels. 0:18 – On Friday, the Trump administration removed healthcare protections for transgender people — but on Monday, the Supreme Court ruled to prevent discrimination of LGBTQ workers. Janetta Johnson, executive director at the Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project, or TGI Justice Project, explains the implications of this mixed bag of decisions impacting the transgender community. She's been an activist for over 23 years and previously survived three and a half years in federal prison, where she advocated for her rights as an incarcerated transgender person. 0:33 – The number of new COVID-19 cases reported in the Bay Area has been rising steadily in recent weeks. We're joined by Erin Allday (@erinallday), a health reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle who has been reporting extensively on the coronavirus outbreak in California, for more on COVID-19 trends and to answer listener questions. 1:08 – The Judicial Council enacted eleven emergency measures to reduce the prison population in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these measures: setting bail to $0 for low-level offenses. But this measure is set to be revoked. Brendon Woods (@BrendonWoodsPD), public defender for Alameda County, explains how zero bail works, including in the context of racial justice protests. 1:26 – Hundreds of racial justice protesters joined community activists early on Monday morning to make house calls to three Oakland city councilmembers' homes. In anticipation of Oakland's 2020-2021 mid-cycle budgeting process, protestors called on their elected officials to defund the Oakland Police Department by at least 50 percent. KPFA's Chris Lee (@chrislee_xyz) reports. 1:33 – What would new models of safety in schools look like? Jackie Byers, director of the Black Organizing Project, joins us for a discussion on the national push to remove police from school districts, and what should replace law enforcement. She highlights efforts to get police out of schools in Oakland, as well as elsewhere across the country. 1:47 – Nikki Fortunato Bas (@nikki4oakland), councilmember representing Oakland District 2, is proposing to cut $25 million from the Oakland Police Department, up for a vote today in Oakland City Council. She explains what she hopes for her proposal to accomplish. 1:54 – An encampment of unhoused people in Antioch was scheduled to be demolished Monday, and its residents' belongings confiscated and unregistered vehicles towed. The camp of nearly 20 people has been growing in size since early January and is situated in the mostly industrial East end of the city. Camp residents were issued a 72 hour notice on Thursday and have been scrambling to try and get their belongings together and get out if they can. KPFA's Frank Sterling reports. Photo by Tom Arthur.

Technology can magnify the power of grassroots organizing and social innovation, but it can sometimes bring about societal harm, whether intentionally or not. At SSIR’s 2018 Frontiers of Social Innovation conference, Rob Reich, a Marc and Laura Andreessen faculty co-director of Stanford PACS, explores the implications for the social sector and free speech in conversation with Kelly Born, a program manager at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s Madison Initiative, and Arisha Hatch, a managing director of campaigns at Color of Change, the largest online racial justice organization in the United States. They touch on topics including election integrity in the United States, online organizing around discriminatory policing, and the spread of hate speech and false information on social media platforms. “Our democracy, our informational ecosystem, has been outsourced to a very few, very powerful platforms,” says Reich. “We don’t really know how the algorithms that power them are working to facilitate the very communication that we all depend upon.” https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/tenuous_relationship_between_tech_and_social_innovation
