PELTIER, ELECTION PROTECTION & the ECO-BROADCAST NETWORK Our GREEP Zoom #209 begins with “Time” by our Poet Laureate MIMI GERMAN. We hear the latest about Leonard Peltier from TATANKA BRICCA and LYDIA PONCE in concert with the Indigenous community supporting him:  “I would like to be out of prison, but I am a free man.” BARBARA WRIGHT reminds us to thank The Creator for the fact that Leonard is out of prison & with his people. LIndsay Graham, Lisa Murkowsky & Susan Collins are summoned for praise by DANIELA GIOSEFFI. Will Trump's GOP wear itself out with a Rope-a-Dope of illegal acts, asks MYLA RESON. We hear from MIMI S about the need to recognize what should have been with Bernie Sanders. From Columbus, Ohio we hear from SANDY BOLZENIUS about the kinds of election fraud that turned the Buckeye State to Bush in 2004.  . From co-convenor MIKE HERSH we bemoan the Democrats' lack of a backbone—except when disenfranchising people of color. “How long can they keep this up?” wonders MELISSA HALL. Massive disenfranchisement demands a class action case against the Democrats for failing to protect the vote, says DAVID SALTMAN. Bring in Ray McClendon and the NAACP, says JOHN STEINER. Our erstwhile engineer STEVE CARUSO evokes some of the carnage now damaging our planetary consciousness. For the inauguration of the ECO-BROADCAST NETWORK we hear from green media activists LIBBE HALEVY, DOUG WOOD, JACK EIDT, ALEX SMITH, STEVEN STARR, URSULA RUEDENBERG about building a major media presence for a post-nuclear green-powered broadcast reality.  With this gathering we “made history” says Mike Hersh, & will continue next week with still more.

Class discussions of public policy issues can be challenging in our politically polarized environment. In this episode, Lauren C. Bell, Allison Rank, and Carah Ong Whaley join us to discuss a new resource that suggests a variety of strategies that encourage students to address their differences and to engage productively in civic engagement projects.   Allison is an Associate Professor of American Politics and chair of the Department of Politics here at SUNY-Oswego. Lauren is the inaugural James L. Miller Professor of Political Science and Associate Provost and Dean of Academic Affairs at Randolf-Macon College. Carah is the Vice President of Election Protection at Issue One and is a co-chair of the American Political Science Association's Civic Engagement section and a member of the APSA's Civic Engagement Committee. Allison, Lauren, and Carah are editors of Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics, which was recently released by Springer.

As a matter of self-preservation I am going off the grid and immersing myself in solitude for the next little bit. In this episode I share with you how I'll be taking care of myself on Election Day and beyond. I hope you will do whatever it is you need to do to take care of yourself, too. Please VOTE. Please take gentle care of yourself. Feel your feelings. And please...do whatever tiny thing you can to bring a little joy to the world today.

When is the last time you saw a student with trisomy 21 on the field playing drums? When you grew up, were gender non-conforming, male presenting students allowed to be a part of color guard or dance team? Were Afrocentric hairstyles represented on the field—even gracing the heads of Eurocentric students? Were girls even drum majors? Bands of America Represent! This week, I got a needed rest from the toil of fighting to elevate the voices of all students. This week, I went to the Bands of America Super Regionals and unexpectedly got to bask in the progress that I often miss, while helping others to see what still needs to be fixed in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. For that, I am grateful. How can you be a part of this progress? How can you make room on your campuses for cultures and stories that have traditionally been missing in our country's classrooms? Here are three resources to help you increase representation in the performing arts. Add classical music by composers who are not White males to your repertoire. Study famous artists who are not White or European. Use this Quizlet as a jumping off place to research minoritized playwrights. Then, select one act plays by writers of non-European descent for UIL. And for all other contents, here is a collection of resources for all contents looking for ways to highlight traditionally non-centered narratives. As we celebrate another 'cultural month' with dedicated to Native American History, let's remember that representation matters all year. And btw, don't forget to vote. Here is my favorite resource, the Ballotpedia sample ballot tool. And if you have problems at the pools, call or text 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to speak with a trained Election Protection volunteer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hedreich/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hedreich/support

On this episode, we tackle election days advocacy. We intentionally say “days” since many states offer vote by mail or early in-person voting well before election day. This means that voting doesn't just happen on election day itself, even though the election is on November 8th this year. We talked about the role nonprofits can play leading up to this period a few weeks ago — on this episode we talk about their big role in helping people vote during this "election days" period. Attorneys for this Episode Leslie Barnes Tim Mooney Victor Rivera   Why should 501(c)(3)s do this work? 501(c)(3)s are trusted messengers.   Educate your community and constituents about their different voting options.    Rules for nonpartisan voter engagement No supporting/opposing candidates Other rules will vary by states and sometimes even counties   Types of nonpartisan voter engagement on "voting days" Voter education What to expect going to the polls Polling locations Proper document/ID required for voting Vote by mail education or absentee voting Setting expectations for results GOTV Facilitate voting by offering rides to polls (ex. Souls to the Polls) But check state laws. Absentee voting, line warming, what can be worn inside polling places providing childcare or identify childcare services Translation of voting materials for non-English readers.  Social media messaging Text banking, etc. etc. Election protection Provisional ballots Be a poll worker, poll monitor or staff voter protection hotlines in your community. 866-OUR-VOTE is probably the most well-known election hotline in the NP community.

Poll Challengers - America's Fist Line of Election Protection

Our 2020 Vote Protectors were the reason we solved hundreds of issues in a matter of minutes.⁠  In this mini-episode, hear from Vote Protectors all across the state as Taylor and Alyssa read stories that were sent in after the 2020 election.Support the show (http://demnc.co/donation)

This is Radio Free Galisteo's Rebroadcast of the Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Coalition Zoom call #87  from 21 March 2022 hosted by Harvey Wasserman.   Every Wednesday you can catch the latest rebroadcast on Radio Free Galisteo from 4 to 6 PM mountain time.  Here's what's in store in this episode: CIVIC DUTY VOTING, CHAOS IN TEXAS, INSANITY IN OHIOOur GREEP zoom #87 leaps into the issue of Civic Duty Voting with the great MILES RAPOPORT, former Secretary of State of Connecticut. Miles has served as president of Common Cause and Demos.  He is most recently the co-author, with E.J. DIONNE, of 100% Democracy being published this week by New Press. Miles's discussion of universal mandatory voting is groundbreaking and fascinating.  He's a great presenter and his hour with us is utterly riveting.  We then hear from MYLA RESON and election protection activists SUSAN YOUNG and TERRI BURKE about the major challenges facing voters in Texas.  Leading that agenda is a brutal race for Attorney-General, where a grassroots victory could be a game-changer nationwide.We follow with an astounding dive into the unreal rabbit hole that is Ohio.  As we hear from RACHEL COYLE,  DAVID DEWITT and STEVE CARUSO, GOP fanatics have trashed public mandates to draw fair and balanced districts for upcoming elections for the state legislature and US Congress.  The result is that Ohio does not have Congressional districts or state Legislative districts with which conduct a primary election.  It would be hard to invent a wackier debacle.  STAY TUNED!!!Here's the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZN_iwP-Wd0 Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/radiofreegalisteo?fan_landing=true)

The February Church & Society gathering was a round table conversation discussing why every election, even (and especially) primary elections, matter in the state of Texas. Rev. Phil Dieke was joined by Stacey Brown of Elev8 Movement, Scott Atnip of Texas Impact, and Fr. Paul Klitzke of The Episcopal Church of the Ascension. In this conversation they discuss the importance of education as well as mobilization when it comes to elections. They discuss the value and importance of getting to know your elected officials, rather making sure your elected officials know you so they know what you value and stand for. They also discuss the importance of trusted resources in this age of dis/misinformation.

JENNIFER ROBERTS, THE CARTER CENTER, FUNDING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING. MILITARY MADNESS We start with the great JENNIFER ROBERTS, former two-term mayor of Charlotte, NC.  Jennifer is a world-class pioneer in Election Protection, green power and much more. JENNIFER'S affiliation with the CARTER CENTER is a hugely important expansion of the reach of Election Protection and the future of our democracy. She provides us with a detailed examination of many key power points relating to all we need to know about America's balloting We're then joined by Ann Arbor's BRIAN STEINBERG, whose grassroots fundraising and organizing has made a huge difference in outcomes in Michigan, Georgia and elsewhere. Brian's pioneer work in funding relational organizing has been extremely important, as his dissection of the use of Constitutional amendment referenda throughout the US. Former Ohio organizer PAUL RYDER joins us to dissect the impact MILITARY POLICY has had on the careers of American presidents such as John Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Joe Biden. We then hear briefly about the impact of undersea www activity on marine mammals (we will return to this next week). And then we visit the case of JULIAN ASSANGE, REALITY WINNER, LEONARD PELTIER and other political prisoners. It's a critical hour, filled with cutting edge stuff.  Don't miss us!!!

If you're listening to this episode on the day it's released, this is Election Day in the United States. So, if you haven't gone to vote yet, and you're not in a mail-in ballot state, go do that and come back and listen - or, if you're not sure if you're going to vote, you may want to listen right now and make time to get out and cast your ballot. Because this Election Day is really important, especially if you're in states like Virginia.   Why? Well, according to Heather Cox Richardson: “We are in an existential fight to defend our democracy from those who would destroy it. People seem to hark back to films from the 1930s and 1940s and think that so long as we don't have tanks in our streets, our government is secure. But in this era, democracies die more often through the ballot box than at gunpoint.” Have questions, comments, or concerns? Email us at hello@dearwhitewomen.com What to listen for: Why voting at this particular juncture in history is actually part of an existential fight to preserve our democracy - and we're not exaggerating The real-life revelations about people who tried to overturn the election - and who barely failed; still, the 33 new election laws we've seen passed in 19 states will not fail.

WILL FEDERAL LEGISLATION PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS?   As Trump Republicans assault the right to vote with more than 400 bills pushed into state legislatures, we track the possibilities of the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT and the JOHN LEWIS ACT.   The twin attempts to use federal legal powers to protect our citizens' ability to exercise the franchise face serious obstacles.  JOEL SEGAL and other powerful experts give us the news on what's happening.   We also discuss next week's NATIONAL JUSTICE ROUNDTABLE to take place at 1-5pm eastern time, Monday, August 30, will cover the issues of DC Statehood, Election Protection, Saving the Earth & Social Justice/Ending Poverty & Homelessness.   This huge gathering of progressive forces can be accessed this coming Monday via www.electionprotection2024.org.  Don't miss it!!   We also get an update on the by-laws election at the Pacifica Radio Network, with reports from New York, California, Texas, Georgia and more.   This is the Grassroots Election Protection Emergency Coalition Zoom #62.  We are glad to have you aboard

In their first episode, meet the Texas woman who says an honest mistake at the polls in 2016 could land her in prison. Meanwhile, lawmakers in her state are preparing to pass even tougher election laws as Congress considers a bill to expand voting rights. So, is our election system too vulnerable to fraud or too susceptible to voter suppression? It depends who you ask.

Join us for a very special episode as we celebrate election night 2020! Jameson and Heather are once again joined by superstar guest Eddie Jones as they talk all things election, and erection. Our favorite Gen Xers and token Millennial swap stories about registering to vote and their first voting experiences as well as election day rituals (i.e. jello shots and coloring the electoral college map). Eddie shares his experiences volunteering during early polling including text and phone banking and poll monitoring with Election Protection (check out Common Cause in New York: https://www.commoncause.org/new-york/). And as the gang watches the polls close on election night where we once again just vote for two old white dudes, let’s pause and reflect on the words of Zoe Leonard in “I want a dyke for president” (https://tinyurl.com/dyke4president).

During this historic election, lawyers nationwide are working around the clock to protect our most precious right, our right to vote. In this episode, guest host Caitlan McCafferty speaks with Georgia-based attorney Harold E. Franklin, Jr. about the work of the Lawyers'​ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Election Protection. Harold is among thousands of lawyers volunteering to serve as a crucial line of defense to safeguard voting rights throughout the United States. A partner at King & Spalding, Harold serves as regional vice chair of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and the Georgia Election Protection legal committee.

The ACLU’s national Election Protection coalition is a year-round, national and non-partisan effort to protect the right to vote. Tuesday, the coalition was actively monitoring voting activity in Fresno and Tulare counties. Fresno consulting firm, Cid & Macedo, managed a network of volunteers on Election Day. Those volunteers included Kathryn Forbes and Roan Gordon, a mother-daughter team who spent the day working as poll observers. “It’s great and we get to spend all day together, which may not be her ideal, but it’s great for me,” said Forbes. Even though she’s too young to vote, 16-year-old Gordon said she felt compelled to take action. “Just knowing that I can’t vote so I need to do my part a different way and I need to make my own impact through a different form of civil service,” said the University High junior. The pair started at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, making stops until 9 p.m. at polling centers to verify that election laws and local guidelines were followed. They also kept an

This week, we are honored to welcome the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Democratic Party, Drexel Heard and Singer, Songwriter and Activist Malynda Hale to the show. Daniel, Malynda and Drexel discuss the what "Defund the Police" truly means, systemic racism, what it means to be an "ally" to the Black Lives Matter movement, and how we can grow from our past. Drexel shares the important Propositions on the ballot in Los Angeles and how we must look at our politicians as humans, not perfect statues. This is an intense, meaningful and informative chat you do not want to miss. In 2018, a record number of people voted in the U.S. Midterm Elections. Now, in 2020, we are on pace to break the record again, in an Election that, if eligible, you can and should take part in. It's been said over and over again, but this may be one of the most important, if not, THE most important Election of your lifetime. Not just on a National level but also on a state and local level. Every 2 and 4 years we get the opportunity to choose: the path this country takes, how we advance as a nation. We vote for the future of our economy, our planet, our sustainability on the planet and for the equality of all people. So please, forget the candidates for a moment and just think of your family, your friends, your neighbors and the others waiting to see what their future holds. Don't vote just for a candidate but vote for their futures. We get to vote to save lives, make things better, to look at ourselves, admit our past imperfections and learn from them. We get to choose not to ignore our awfulness of the past, but to embrace it as a fire for change. Black Lives Matter, Gender Equality, LGBTQ+ Equality, Global Warming, the almost 230,000+ lives lost and those who are still suffering due to this once in a century pandemic. This year we vote for the soul of a nation, we vote to save lives, for love, kindness and empathy. 2020 has been immensely challenging, but today we have the chance to embrace hope and the "better angels of our good nature". ….

Election day in the United States is quite the dramatic event in 2020. We may soon know who will be the President of the United States in the coming years, what the new U.S. Congress will look like, if there might be a chance of federal privacy legislation and an EU-U.S. adequacy deal passing in the coming years, and if California Proposition 24 (the California Privacy Rights Act or “CPRA”) has made the grade. But the election process itself carries privacy implications and of course, there are other privacy developments in the world.In this week’s episode, Paul Breitbarth and K Royal address political campaigns, the CPRA, China’s new draft data protection law and more. In particular, they highlight the difference between the US and the EU when it comes to determining whether political ideations and opinions are sensitive data. In the US, voter registration polls are quite often public - which offers opportunity for potential election machinations. This year, we have seen non-official ballot boxes, controversy over mail-in ballots with external facing signatures and phone numbers, a high volume of political text messaging, and more. However, there have been other privacy news lately, such as the proposed law in China. Join us as we discuss these hot topics in privacy in this episode of Serious Privacy along with honor in voting, a la West Wing’s Donna Moss and Jack Reese. Given the impact of the election results, TrustArc is presenting a post-election webinar to address the privacy outcomes in more detail.ResourcesPolitical Campaign Data Targeting (Washington Post) China’s Draft Data Protection Law (IAPP) China’s Draft Data Protection Law (Nymity Research & Alerts -for subscribers)Facebook memo from Andrew Bosworth, executive at Facebook About bots and misinformation Article by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Comparing Democratic Distress between the United States and Europe Social MediaTwitter: @privacypodcast, @EuroPaulB, @heartofprivacy, @trustarcInstagram: @seriousprivacy

Welcome to System Check. On this podcast, we’re going to break down the big, unwieldy, seemingly immovable systems that structure our politics and our lives. In the ten episodes in this season, we will delve into the history of these systems, and along with our guests, we will seek ways to move beyond or redesign these systems. In our first episode, your hosts Dorian Warren and Melissa Harris-Perry are focusing on the system at the top of everyone’s minds: Voting. More than 75 million Americans have already cast a ballot, (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/28/us/elections/75-million-americans-have-already-voted.html) but election watchers are warning that long lines, false information, and purposeful barriers may deter many Americans from exercising their right to vote. America’s convoluted voting system is deeply and purposely unfair to many Americans, especially African Americans, Spanish-speakers, caregivers, and those with the least education and the fewest financial resources. It’s time for a system check. Sherrilyn Ifill, (https://www.naacpldf.org/about-us/staff/sherrilyn-ifill/) President and Director Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (https://www.naacpldf.org/) joins us to consider the long history of voter suppression in the United States and to outline how state laws, federal court decisions, and digital misinformation continue to depress voter turnout. After listening to this interview, we know you will want to learn more. Check out Sherrilyn Ifill, Civil Rights Superhero (https://www.glamour.com/story/sherrilyn-ifill-women-of-the-year-2020) by Melissa Harris-Perry (Glamour, October 13, 2020); Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t know his civil rights history (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/17/mark-zuckerberg-doesnt-know-his-civil-rights-history/) by Sherrilyn Ifill (Washington Post, October 17, 2019) and the testimony of Sherrilyn Ifill, before the United States House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary Hearing on H.R. 1, the “For the People Act of 2019 (https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20190129/108824/HHRG-116-JU00-Wstate-IfillS-20190129.pdf) (January 29, 2019). Also in this episode, co-host Melissa Harris-Perry delivers the weekly “System Analysis” with a surprising take on the rationality of voting. She concludes by drawing on the wisdom of Professor Lani Guinier. (https://www.fairvote.org/lani_guinier_champion_of_democracy) legal scholar and a champion of voting rights and racial justice. Twenty years ago, as the 2000 election between Vice President Al Gore and Governor George W. Bush descended into a chad-hanging fiasco, Lani Guinier wrote Making Every Vote Count (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/making-every-vote-count/) for The Nation. Her analysis remains relevant today. In the second half of the episode, we talk to Alicia Garza (https://aliciagarza.com/) , co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter (https://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/) , founder of the Black Futures Lab (https://blackfutureslab.org/) , co-founder of Super Majority (https://supermajority.com/) , host of her own podcast, Lady Don’t Take No (https://lady-dont-take-no.simplecast.com/) , and author of the new book, The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall Apart (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/565184/the-purpose-of-power-by-alicia-garza/) . Alicia Garza is insightful, impactful, and vulnerable in this interview you will not want to miss!

  On this episode, we look at how nonprofits can continue to advocate for a fair and safe election during election days. We intentionally say “days” because many states are offering vote-by-mail (“VBM”, also known as “absentee voting”) or offer early in-person voting well before Nov 3rd, 2020. States took these measures to mitigate some of the challenges presented by the COVID pandemic that we talked about in Part 1 of this series.     Our attorneys for this episode   Leslie Barnes  Tim Mooney  Quyen Tu    Shownotes  Because voting doesn’t just happen one day this year, here are things that 501(c)(3)s, as trusted messengers, can do during the voting days to support a free and fair election.    Encourage people who are not at high-risk to COVID-19 to step up and work as poll worker and early voting officials More Than a Vote - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322130045738998  Educate your community and constituents about their different voting options. It is important to note that these rules will vary by states and sometimes even by counties!  Preparing for in-person voting  Vote-by-mail rules and deadlines  Provisional ballots and what that means    Facilitate voting by offering rides to polls, childcare services, translation services, pay off fines.  Promote election protection: be a poll monitor or staff voter protection hotline.  Have a game plan to address voter intimidation.  Help people understand that we likely won’t have definitive elections results the night of Nov. 3rd, especially in close races.  Litigation  Mobilize public support for safe and fair election (including protests) when anything happens that will prevent voting or the administration of voting.   A special note for private foundations:  It’s not too late, you can fund all nonpartisan efforts except for voter registration drives. This is the rainy day that you’ve been saving for!   A special note for 501(c)(4)s:  501(c)(4)s can do everything we’ve covered in this episode and you could do one of these activities in a partisan manner as long as it is your secondary activity.     Resources   Appendix B of Rules of the Game: Permissible Nonpartisan 501(c)(3) and Partisan Campaign Contact on Voter Engagement and Protection Efforts  Election Protection by c3s  Texas Civil Rights Project stopped voter “purges” that would have affected many naturalized citizens. https://www.bolderadvocacy.org/story/legal-advocacy-in-action-texas-civil-rights-project/  Bolder Advocacy’s TA hotline: 866-NP-LOBBY  Email us at advocacy@afj.org  Our website is bolderadvocacy.org       Non-Bolder Advocacy Resources:  Voter Registration Deadlines by State (Vote.org)  State Compendium of Election Worker Laws and Statutes (U.S. Election Assistance Commission)  Do you want to be a poll worker?

Protecting our Elections Most Americans take for granted that our elections will be free and fair. However, this would not be the case without the rigorous efforts of dedicated non-profits, citizens, and volunteers. Organizations like the Lawyers’ Committee work year-round to protect our elections from internal interference using a variety of tools such as a voter hotline (866-OUR-VOTE), digital outreach, physical field programs, and litigation when states enact unfair or discriminatory voting practices. Legitimate elections are the result of passionate citizens and organized civic engagement. Attacks on Democratic Infrastructure The Lawyers’ Committee started its Election Protection program in 2002 in order to combat increasing attacks on election infrastructure at national and state levels. The most notable of these attacks was the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder Supreme Court Case, which struck down a key portion of the Voting Rights Act that had required districts with a history of voter discrimination to seek federal authorization for any changes in voting laws or procedures. Since then, 14 states have instituted new voting restrictions, and more than 1,000 polling locations have closed around the country. Restrictions like this make it harder for many to vote, alienating them and corroding the foundation of our democracy. Restrictions and Interpretations New laws—like Texas’s former voter ID law that banned student IDs, but allowed concealed carry permits—are not the only way states can suppress voting. Some states simply interpret existing laws in a new way. The National Voter Registration Act contains a list maintenance provision on how to remove voters who have moved or died, which some states have interpreted as a way to aggressively purge voters who still live in the jurisdiction. In Husted v. Philip Randolph Institute, the Supreme Court ruled that Ohio is allowed to purge voters who have not voted in two years and have not responded to a change of residence notice. Election protection challenges voter suppression in new laws as well as unfair interpretations of existing ones.  Find out more: Marcia Johnson-Blanco is the co-Director of the Lawyers’ Committee’s Voting Rights Project. She manages the Project’s programmatic and advocacy portfolios, and also leads the Election Protection Program. The program was started in 2002 to combat voter suppression and disenfranchisement, which includes tools such as the voter hotline (866-OUR-VOTE), on-site election protection services, and litigation against discriminatory laws and tactics. Johnson-Blanco is a widely-recognized voting rights leader, and served as the deputy director of the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act in 2005. She holds degrees from Georgetown and Villanova, and serves as a taskforce co-chair at the US Human Rights Network.

We're pleased to bring you a new podcast from AAPF and Kimberlé Crenshaw, Intersectionality Matters! Featuring on the ground interviews with some of the world's most innovative activists, artists, and scholars, each episode will explore a different topic through an intersectional lens, ranging from the Supreme Court to grassroots activism in Brazil and the Congo to #SayHerName and the future of the #MeToo campaign. Today we bring you a special preview episode in time for the midterm elections. We hope you enjoy it, and stay tuned for the official podcast release later this month! ~~~ Donald Trump’s path to power was littered with attacks on Muslims, women, immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, people who are undocumented, and people who are queer. And these communities have suffered under his administration. The November 6th election presents an opportunity to put significant checks on Trumpism. There is no lack of clarity about what is at stake, but the ability to fight back effectively turns on the ability of all of these constituencies to see common cause and to overcome concerted efforts to keep them from voting. On this special preview of Intersectionality Matters!, we talk to two African American women leading the fight for our democracy: Barbara Arnwine, Founder of both the Transformative Justice Coalition and Election Protection, the nation’s largest nonpartisan voter protection coalition; and Kristen Clarke, Executive Director of the Lawyer’s Committee on Civil Rights Under Law. Clarke is leading the court challenge against Georgia’s vote suppression tactics in the face of the historic campaign being waged by Stacey Abrams, a candidate who may make history by becoming the first African American woman to be elected governor. These eye-opening interviews by Kimberlé Crenshaw address critical issues presented in this election, and explore what more we must do after November 6th to ensure intersectional justice for all. ~~~ Music by Blue Dot Sessions Produced and Edited by Julia Sharpe-Levine Special thanks to Thea Chaloner, Alex Schein, Luke Charles Harris, Michael Kramer, Naimah Hakim, G'Ra Asim, Madeline Cameron Wardleworth, Kevin Minofu, Janine Jackson, and Abby Dobson.
