More To The Story: When Bryan Stevenson moved to Montgomery, Alabama, in the 1980s, the city—one of America's most prominent slave trading spaces before the Civil War—had dozens of Confederate monuments and memorials, but nothing commemorating slavery. Today, thanks to Stevenson's efforts, the city looks much different. Over the last decade, the executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative has transformed parts of Montgomery through markers acknowledging the legacy of slavery while also building the Legacy Sites, a series of museums and memorials that commemorate America's dark history of lynching, slaveholding, and racial terror across the South. On this week's More To The Story, Stevenson talks about the importance of memorializing America's full history as the Trump administration attempts to erase slavery and lynching from the nation's museums and why he sees today's narrative struggle for racial justice as a generational battle.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Trump's War on History (Mother Jones)Listen: Mississippi Goddam: The Ballad of Billey Joe (Reveal)Read: Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption (One World)Learn more: Equal Justice InitiativeLearn more: The Legacy Sites Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Host Bakari Sellers knew he was against the death penalty–until white supremacist Dylann Roof killed 9 people at the African Methodist Episocpal Church in Charleston, South Carolina during a bible study. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Black Americans are 7.5 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than whites. The Equal Justice Initiative has shown that for every 8 people executed on death row, 1 is exonerated. At times, maybe death is justice, but the administration of that justice is problematic, particularly in a racist justice system. Our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari talk each other through complicated feelings around capital punishment.

American history has always been contested, but recent decisions by U.S. President Donald Trump to reshape the way it's taught and remembered have put museums, schools, and memorials squarely in the crosshairs. Earlier this year, Trump passed an executive order that called for the removal of what he referred to as “divisive, race-centered ideology” from the nation's museums. He's targeted the Smithsonian Museum in particular, calling it “out of control” and “woke”, criticizing it for focusing too much on teaching the history of slavery. What does it mean to discourage the teaching of slavery and Jim Crow laws in a country that practiced chattel slavery for nearly 250 years, and had been led by at least 12 Presidents who themselves owned slaves?Bryan Stevenson is a civil rights lawyer, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir ‘Just Mercy', and creator of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. He joins the show to talk about Trump's attacks on American history, and the enduring legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial terror in the United States.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

On this episode of the Rules of the Game podcast (the third in an eight-part, issue-specific podcast series), we'll discuss recent headlines impacting criminal legal reform advocates and explain how nonprofits can take action with legislative, executive branch, and judicial branch advocacy. From responding to legislative proposals to initiating litigation, nonprofits nationwide are standing up to fight for our rights and critical reforms to our criminal legal system. This episode will highlight their work and provide information about the rules that apply when nonprofits engage in advocacy to ensure due process, protect the rights of the accused, and improve judicial systems. Attorneys for this episode Monika Graham Melissa Marichal Zayas Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort   Show notes ·      Recent Headlines: Legislation, Litigation, and More! o   Legislation: §  Family Notification of Death, Injury, or Illness in Custody Act: Bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate. Would require the DOJ to issue guidance on how federal prisons should promptly notify families of incarcerated individuals who become seriously ill or pass away in prison. o   Litigation §  Criminal legal reform advocates scored a win in Michigan recently, when the MI Supreme Court ruled that mandatory / automatic life without parole sentences for 19-20 year olds convicted of murder are unconstitutional. o   Executive Branch Actions: §  Earlier this year, the DOJ froze work on police reform and other civil rights cases. Now, (in the absence of DOJ leadership on these issues), the burden has shifted to local governments to take action. o   Keep on Your Radar: Trump's “Opening Salvo” in His War Against Criminal Justice Reform Starts With This Nonprofit §  The Vera Institute of Justice, a major criminal justice reform nonprofit, had all five of its federal grants—worth about $5 million—abruptly terminated by the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi, a key Trump ally. §  Evaluate your funding sources, and make sure you're not overly dependent on any one source.   ·      Non-Lobbying Advocacy o   Nonpartisan Advocacy 101: 501(c)(3)s cannot support or oppose candidates for public office, but they can… o   Educate the public about issues of importance to your organization. §  Equal Justice Initiative recently provided education related to the wrongful incarceration and conviction of black defendants in murder cases. Not only did they report on research from the National Registry of Exonerations that black Americans are nearly 8x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder, but they noted that they are also likely to spend more years in prison than wrongfully convicted white people. o   Hold a rally: §  Earlier this year, a coalition of criminal justice reform advocates and nonprofits in New Mexico held a rally to call attention to the reality of mass incarceration and to propose common-sense alternatives to harsh prison sentences. o   Initiate or participate in litigation: §  The Innocence Project (AFJ Member) and other members of the Innocence Network, engage in litigation on behalf of wrongfully convicted persons who can be proven innocent with DNA and other types of evidence. o   Fund Advocacy §  Private and public foundations can support organizations advancing their charitable missions through general operating grants and/or specific project grants, ensuring flexibility and sustainability in pursuit of shared goals.   ·      Lobbying o   501(c)(3) public charities are also allowed to use unrestricted funds to engage in some lobbying activities. o   Tax Code Lobbying 101: Public charities can lobby, but they are limited in how much lobbying they may engage in. §  Insubstantial part test vs. 501(h) expenditure test. §  Under either test, lobbying includes attempts to influence legislation at any level of government. §  Track your local, state, and federal lobbying, and stay within your lobbying limits. o   State/local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may also apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. o   Ballot measure advocacy (direct lobbying) could also implicate state / local campaign finance and election laws. o   Lobbying win! §  In March, DC Justice Lab, an AFJ member, and several other nonprofits lobbied in support of Maryland's Second Look Act by submitting testimony to the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. This legislation would permit individuals convicted of certain crimes between the ages of 18 and 25, and have served over 20 years of their sentence, to petition the court to modify or reduce their sentence based on demonstrated rehabilitation. Since the committee's hearing, the Maryland General Assembly has passedthe Second Look Act, which now awaits Governor Moore's signature.   Resources – ·      Justice & Equity: The Advocacy Playbook for Criminal Legal Reform ·      Public Charities Can Lobby (Factsheet) ·      Practical Guidance: what your nonprofit needs to know about lobbying in your state ·      Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy ·      What is Advocacy? 2.0

4.14.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DOJ ends raw sewage settlement, Crockett rips GOP's dangerous health agenda, El Salvador Deportation In 2023, the Department of Justice identified a pattern of neglect by Alabama's Department of Public Health, which has contributed to a decades-old water and sewage crisis in the state's "Black Belt," specifically in Lowndes County. Now, the MAGA administration is terminating the settlement that was reached to address the county's water issues. I will speak with the Rural Development Manager of the Equal Justice Initiative about how this decision will continue to affect Black citizens in Alabama. The false narrative that noncitizens were voting led to the passage of the SAVE Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to register or update voter information. We will discuss with the Policy Council from the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law the implications of this law on voters. In tonight's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out MAGA Republicans for turning public health into a partisan circus. And thousands turnout to honor one of the greatest boxers of all time, George Foreman. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

Host Razia Iqbal sits down with the celebrated civil rights lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson, a man as dedicated to his chosen profession as James Baldwin was to his.Stevenson is the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, based in Montgomery, Alabama, which has not only transformed the conversation about the disproportionate numbers of incarcerated Black Americans, but has also challenged how we think about the criminal justice system and the system's treatment of children in particular. He's been described by the late South African bishop and civil rights activist Desmond Tutu as “America's Nelson Mandela.” Stevenson also initiated the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, and continues to make us all think about the lived legacy of more than 200 years of slavery in the U.S. By Stevenson's own admission, Baldwin has had a profound impact on his life, professionally and personally. When asked to choose a single Baldwin quote that inspires him, Stevenson chose three, and an exception was made in the interest of an exceptional conversation. Tell us what you think.
