Our complaints have been going on for years and at every level in every industry regarding abuse, disparate treatment and retaliation. Abuse of power takes many forms (sexual, physical and emotional) and permeates every industry; Music. Law Enforcement. (LAUSD) School Districts etc. Black women's complaints, pleas for help, redress are continually minimized, devalued and occurrences mitigated. #TimesUp An acclaimed author and social justice advocate, Retired Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey has dedicated her life to serving and protecting all citizens with procedural justice and to assist communities in sorting out the truth about legal and necessary law enforcement conduct.

In 2014, a 12 year old Georgia girl faced expulsion and criminal charges after writing on a locker room wall of her Middle School. A Detroit honors student was suspended for her entire senior year for bringing a pocket knife to a football game. In 2013, an 8 year-old girl was arrested for acting out. A 12 year old girl was threatened with expulsion unless she changed her hairstyle. Those are just some of the stories told in a shocking report released this year by the African American Policy Forum whose director joins us to talk about Black girls and the school to prison pipeline. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw is a Professor of Law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, and is a leading authority on the overlapping contours of racial and gender bias. She is the Executive Director of the African American Policy Forum and the Center for Intersectionality - a term she coined - at Columbia Law School. Also in this episode: We go from the fate of our future generations to the fate of our parents and grandparents, with excerpts from CARE, a new documentary about the crisis of elder care, and those trying to do something about it. All this, and Laura discusses who's missing from all the talk about incarceration.
