On this episode of Etch The Edges we hear from activist and former leader of Black Lives Matter Sacramento, California Sonia Lewis. She is the founder and CEO of Ascribe Educational consulting. She pours her passion and her power into the hard work of Heart Work. She advocates strongly for truth, that we as human beings are all connected. At an early age she etched the edges on freedom, justice, and liberty, juxtaposed against a family member being killed by the police. She is sharing and telling the stories that matter, and working for justice and equity through her life's work. Listen and learn who Sonia Lewis is and why we at Etch The Edges fully support her efforts, and we hope you will too. Listen and let's etch the edges. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/etchtheedges/support

Guest: Tanya Faison, the founder of Black Lives Matter Sacramento speaking with The California Report's Mary Franklin Harvin Many of the protests following the death of George Floyd were led by young people here in California.

Guest: Jadyn Polk, Member of Black Youth for the People's Liberation in Oakland speaking with The California Report's Keith Mizuguchi
Cash $TanyaFaison v: @Tanya-Faison PP: paypal.me/tanyadfaison Tanya Faison is the founder of Black Lives Matter Sacramento, a grassroots organizer, a frequent media commentator, a known figure in the streets as well as among local politicians. Despite her accolades she remains radical, ungovernable, and consistently centering the most marginalized of Black people in her constant fight for Black liberation. She is an expert in local government and law enforcement. She fights for those forces to be held accountable. She created Sacramento's Abolish & Rebuild, which works to create alternatives to law enforcement. She is also the founder of Allies of Black Lives Matter Sacramento, in which she leads non-Black allies in their work to decolonize their own white supremacy and to show up for Black Liberation. Tanya has organized and led actions with hundreds of attendees. Tanya is and will always be an abolitionist, but working with existing systems is also necessary for Black liberation and Tanya has accomplished much in this field. She has contributed to Sacramento law enforcement wearing mandatory body cameras and releasing the footage to the public within a time limit, to Sheriff Scott Jones losing his congressional bid, and to stopping Scott Jones from dismantling the position of Inspector General (a position appointed to oversee his department) when the Inspector's findings didn't agree with him. She is a fierce leader who always chooses the path of resistance with a flair for organizing and public engagement. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-full-set-podcast/support

I chat with the Tanya Faison, Founder of Black Lives Matter Sacramento about what it means to do grassroots work in an age of overwhelming state surveillance. We get into some generational differences in how today's youth resist state violence compared to their older and more critical Baby Boomer forerunners. As I expected, Sacramento's Stephon Clark's name was speckled throughout the program by the guest, as his death at the hands of law enforcement captured the attention of the nation earlier this year. ***Please consider donating to my Patreon if you find any value in the show...Thanks!***
