The work on the ground is not near done, says Irna Landrum, Campaigns Manager DailyKos, as activists in Minneapolis are trying to find a balance in demonstrating and caring for the community. She and other reporters and activists have found accelerants hidden in alleyways and on private property, gasoline in water bottles, and are wary of any sudden and explosive sounds resembling gunfire. But listen to this episode to find why she sees this time as both scary and hopeful. And with Markos’ polling knowledge, the three of them circle around the question that remains at the back of our minds: what could all of this potentially mean for Trump, Biden, and the 2020 election?Executive Producer: Adell ColemanProducer: Brittany TempleDistributor: DCP EntertainmentFor additional content: makeitplain.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As our country is faced with yet another senseless murder of an innocent black man, we feel it deeper than ever that we must elect officials who understand what it means to protect and serve constituents; that kind of support is what you get with Sybrina Fulton. You may know her as the mother of Trayvon Martin, but you might also know her for her more than 20 years of service to Miami-Dade County, where she is a lifelong resident. Now she's running for Miami-Dade County District 1 Commissioner, and in today's episode she talks about her campaign and why she's tired of a country that's comfortable watching the murders of innocent black men, women, and children. Today's special double episode also features reporting from Irna Landrum, Campaigns Director for DailyKos, who lives just a few blocks from where George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police. Learn about the community that is both grieving and rising up.
