Meet the New Leaders of California's 12th District:** Newly elected Democrat Lateefah Simon joins veteran Congresswoman Barbara Lee in a powerful conversation about minority representation and the fight for reproductive rights, housing, and immigration reform—how will they inspire change in a Republican-controlled Congress?This show is made possible by you! Our year end goal is to raise $50,000, and we are half way there. To become a member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: If anyone can inspire the public about the role of the minority in Congress, the women of California's 12th district can. In this charming conversation, newly-elected Democrat, Lateefah Simon, joins the indomitable veteran Barbara Lee, whose congressional seat Simon will be taking when the new Congress convenes. Republicans will control the House and Senate, the White House, and dominate the Supreme Court, but Simon says she's fired up to “fight for what we've fought for” in the areas of reproductive rights, low and middle-income housing, public safety, immigration and more. And that's no wonder. Simon's following Lee — whose historic 26-year career in the legislature included often being in the minority, and once standing alone against granting the president unlimited war powers after 9/11. Like Lee, Simon began her activism as a single mother at Mills College, and that's not all they have in common. Lee says Simon's already made her proud. This episode will delight everyone interested in the role of African American women in politics, or how legacies are built and power is passed on. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on how not to stay tired.“Being a Black woman in America really gives us the experience and the lens to not be daunted with being a minority. We've been a minority in this country forever . . . I don't buy this fear. I don't buy into the fact that a lot of people talk about they're exhausted Black women. We always keep going and Lateefah keeps going. “ - Barbara Lee“We know what racism looks like. We know what the threats of deportation looks like. We have been here before, but I am so honored to be able to take on again, the ongoing journey that was led by Shirley Chisholm, Kamala D. Harris, and my mentor, professor and friend Barbara Lee. We are weary, clearly, but we're not weak.” - Lateefah SimonGuests:• Barbara Lee, Congresswoman, California 12th District• Lateefah Simon, Congresswoman-Elect, California 12th District Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country Subscribe to episode notes via PatreonMusic In the Middle: "Be Love" by Alexis P.

If Joe Biden steps aside for the Democratic presidential nomination — still a very big if — the favorite to replace him is Vice President Kamala Harris. In recently leaked post-debate polling from Open Labs, Harris polled better than Biden in matchups against Trump.In 2019, Dana Goodyear wrote in The New Yorker, “As a Black, female law-and-order Democrat, Harris creates a kind of cognitive dissonance.” The profile Harris inhabited then would be welcome in an election year where disorder is on voters' minds and the Republicans are nominating a convicted felon. But Harris hasn't inhabited that political profile for years. And since becoming Biden's vice president the conventional wisdom on her has shifted: She's gone from rising star — many thought her “the next Obama” — to political underachiever.So I've had a few questions about Harris. What accounted for the fast fall from grace after she took the vice presidency? What happened to the smart-on-crime prosecutor we once saw? What has the White House done — or not done — to build her profile? And are critics of Harris fair, or is she underrated now?I'm joined by Elaina Plott Calabro, a staff writer at The Atlantic who traveled with Harris extensively for a major profile last year. I left this conversation with a very different theory of who Harris is, what her politics are and what led to the confusions of her vice presidency.Mentioned:“The Kamala Harris Problem” by Elaina Plott Calabro“Biden Plunges in Swing States in Leaked Post-Debate Poll” by Peter HambySmart on Crime by Kamala D.

On May 6, Bracewell hosted a special one-on-one conversation with Yasmin Nelson, the newest member of Bracewell's Washington, DC-based Policy Resolution Group (PRG). Yasmin, who joined the firm as a senior principal in April 2021, is a former senior policy advisor to then-Senator Kamala D. Harris. In this one-hour event, Yasmin discusses the Biden administration's first 100 days and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Topics include finance and tax, trade, technology and environmental justice. Co-hosts are Scott Segal and Dee Martin, co-heads of the Policy Resolution Group.
The idea of “Black Maternal Health Week” began in 2018 with a Senate Resolution introduced by then Senator Kamala D. Harris. So, it is should have been no surprise that as Vice President she used this week to claim something is terribly wrong in our health care system as it pertains to pregnant black women. She position is that racism is the root cause of “the problem”. Her claims, however, ignore critical, important facts, including the huge percentage of black babies aborted each year as compared to other races and the legal reality that no person needing medical attention, including pregnant women, can be turned away by medical personnel. As Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss, the Democrats have a long history of not reading bills before they vote on them, and apparently, also before they comment on them. Newly elected Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) severely attacking the new Georgia voting law. Even though the e-mail did not go out until later, he signed the e-mail before the bill had been voted on and while changes were still being made. As it turns out, what he was saying about the new Georgia voting law was absolutely false!Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, have anticipated the current “issues” about transgender people were going to just continue coming at us like a snowball rolling down hill. This time the question is about transgenders becoming nuns in the Catholic Church. They are wondering if — as for women’s sports — the best solution for all on these conflicts be to allow transgenders to function within a third group, and thus not do harm to biological women’s designations in allowing transgenders to pursue their own happiness.Fauci is the highest paid worker in the Federal Government -- more than the President. And yet, how is he able to be so insensitive and so wrong so much of the time, resulting in such great emotional and economic harm to so many Americans and still keep his job?Democrat pollsters have a very long history of getting their predictions wrong! Since 1948, the pollsters have leaned far more towards the Democrats, and completely missed the political sentiments of Republicans. Democrat polling groups always make errors in the same direction.…over predicting wins for Democrats. Are they going to do better next time or will they again “over poll” Democrats?The Conservative Clergy of Color took out a full page ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution demanding Democrats and others, including President Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams, “Stop Lying” about what the Georgia Election Law really is about. The Conservative Clergy of Color make it clear that IDs are not racially discriminatory, that the new law new law keeps absentee voting secure, that individual voting rights are protected, and that there is nothing about this new law that would make it be ‘Jim Crow 2.0.'
Who is Kamala D. Harris, the 49th Vice-President of the United States?Kamala Harris, in full Kamala Devi Harris, (born October 20, 1964, Oakland, California, U.S.), 49th vice president of the United States (2021– ) in the Democratic administration of Pres. Joe Biden. She was the first woman and the first African American to hold the post. She had previously served in the U.S. Senate (2017–21) and as attorney generalof California (2011–17). She graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of Law.FamilyHer father, who was Jamaican, taught at Stanford University, and her mother, the daughter of an Indian diplomat, was a cancer researcher. Her younger sister, Maya, later became a public policy advocate. After studying political science and economics (B.A., 1986) at Howard University, Kamala earned a law degree (1989) from Hastings College. Vice President Harris and her sister, Maya Harris, were primarily raised and inspired by their mother, Shyamala Gopalan. Gopalan, a breast cancer scientist and pioneer in her own right, received her doctorate the same year Vice President Harris was born. Her parents were activists, instilling Vice President Harris with a strong sense of justice. They brought her to civil rights demonstrations and introduced role models—ranging from Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to civil rights leader Constance Baker Motley—whose work motivated her to become a prosecutor. Growing up, Vice President Harris was surrounded by a diverse community and extended family. In 2012 Harris delivered a memorable address at the Democratic National Convention, raising her national profile. Two years later she married attorney Douglas Emhoff. Widely considered a rising star within the party,. She subsequently worked as a deputy district attorney (1990–98) in Oakland, earning a reputation for toughness as she prosecuted cases of gang violence, drug trafficking, and sexual abuse. Harris rose through the ranks, becoming district attorney in 2004. ***(She was elected District Attorney of San Francisco in 2003. In that role, Vice President Harris created a ground-breaking program to provide first-time drug offenders with the opportunity to earn a high school degree and find employment. The program was designated as a national model of innovation for law enforcement by the United States Department of Justice. ). In 2010 she was narrowly elected attorney general of California—winning by a margin of less than 1 percent—thus becoming the first female and the first African American to hold the post. After taking office the following year, she demonstrated political independence, rejecting, for example, pressure from the administration of Pres. Barack Obama for her to settle a nationwide lawsuit against mortgage lenders for unfair practices.

Producer host Julia Dudley Najieb reviews the inauguration of Joseph Biden Jr. and Kamala D. Harris of Oakland, CA and well as local city of Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer's message of retiring from social media for today. Dyer also reiterated that we are all 99% the same with that .1% that makes a difference in which some people find is the biggest challenge to overcome.
IS AMERICA BEING INFILTRATED FROM WITHIN …….IS OUR ELECTED LEADERS CREATING THIS DIVISION? IS OUR ELECTED LEADERS MAKING IT EASY FOR A HOSTLE COUNTRY TO INFITATE AMERICA? Biden said, “…in the first 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America.” Trump This impeachment is causing tremendous anger, and you're doing it, and it's really a terrible thing that they're doing. For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think it's causing tremendous danger to our country and it's causing tremendous anger. I want no violence. Thank you very much. Thank you. Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), feels the same way. When asked on the second night of the June 2019 Democratic debates if an undocumented alien should be deported if his only offense is not having lawful status, her response was, “I will say, no, absolutely not. They should not be deported.” YOU DECIDE.............HOWEVER ONLY GOD REALLY KNOWS The other day a lady said she was worried about the future of America: I said we cannot control what God has plan; it is not about Biden. Trump, BLM, antifa none of these matters: we must emulate Paul press on as it is written in Philippians 3:14, NIV: "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Now Paul has used the analogy of a runner who focuses on the goal ahead of him. This prevents distractions and stumbling. Paul's spiritual goal is stated directly here: "the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We also we are not to fear or worry: The Bible clearly teaches that Christians are not to worry. In Philippians 4:6, we are commanded, “Do not be anxious [do not worry] about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” In this Scripture, we learn that we should bring all our needs and concerns to God in prayer rather than worry about them. Jesus encourages us to avoid worrying about our physical needs like clothing and food. Jesus assures us that our heavenly Father will take care of all our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Therefore, we have no need to worry about anything. Since worrying should not be a part of a believer's life, how does one overcome worry? In 1 Peter 5:7, we are instructed to “cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” God does not want us to carry around the weight of problems and burdens. In this verse, God is telling us to give Him all our worries and concerns. Why does God want to take on our problems? The Bible says it is because He cares for us. God is concerned about everything that happens to us. No worry is too big or too small for His attention. When we give God our problems, He promises to give us the peace which transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Of course, for those who do not know the Savior, worry and anxiety will be part of life. But to those who have given their lives to Him, Jesus promised, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Now I really do not know if America is mention in the word of God (the Bible) Why is the United States of America never mentioned in Bible prophecy? This could be for several reasons: (1) Perhaps the United States does not play an important role in the end times. (2) Perhaps the United States does not exist anymore once the end times begin. (3) Perhaps the United States is included with all the other nations that reject God in the end times (Revelation 10:11; 11:18; 12:5; 14:8; 15:4; 16:19; 17:15; 18:3,23; 19:15). Option (3) is the most likely answer. The United States of America is the biggest supporter of Israel in the world today. This might not always be the case. However, there are biblical statements about what the nations in general will be doing during the tribulation period. Passages like Haggai 2:6-7, Isaiah 66:18-20, and Zechariah 12:2-3 speak of all the nations involved in end-time events. These kinds of references clearly, I believe will include the United States in their fulfillment. However, we still must pray for our nation and its leaders
Speaking with Imran Amed, the Washington Post’s senior critic-at-large shares her thoughts on the controversially ‘familiar’ image of the vice president-elect, and explains where it sits within the wider political climate of the United States as it is due to enter a new chapter. When the cover of American Vogue’s February issue leaked on Saturday, January 9, a flurry of controversy ensued. Many took to social media to deride the image of vice president-elect Kamala Harris, lensed by Tyler Mitchell, for its casual styling, unflattering lighting and lack of gravitas. The criticism focused on the argument that the portrait lacked the stately deference they believed such a political figure — not least the first Black, South Asian female vice-president — should command.Among those to share their thoughts was Robin Givhan, The Washington Post’s senior critic-at-large who penned a column on January 11 in which she said “the cover did not give Kamala D. Harris due respect… It was a cover image that, in effect, called Harris by her first name without invitation.” Givhan, who became the first fashion writer to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2006, sat down with Imran Amed in the latest episode of The BoF Podcast, to further discuss the cover’s significance and the wider tumultuous landscape of US politics. Debating Harris’ portrait is about more than just a critique of the technicalities and production value of a fashion glossy. Its release comes at a time of political division and fraught race relations, just days after a violent right-wing mob stormed Washington D.C.’s Capitol building, an event incited by President Trump, who now faces a second impeachment for his involvement in the incident. “The last few years have been an exhausting, emotionally draining time,” said Givhan. “I was very surprised that [the cover] became such an issue. I was really stunned that people were so exercised about it. When you think about it, it’s [like] pain from a thousand papercuts, and this was the 1001st papercut.” The informality of the image chosen for the print cover carries greater historical significance and weight. Vogue and Anna Wintour defended it as an extension of the Biden-Harris campaign’s platform of accessibility, which Givhan described as a “legitimate” point of view. But, she said, “I think that the upset is rooted not so much in the current moment but its history. Throughout history, Black women in particular were not given the kind of respect that white women were. People had this familiarity with Black women that was not about friendship and equality but was condescending. Understanding the complicated nature of that would give one pause in presenting the first female vice president — a Black woman — in that way.” While the alternative digital cover image, which depicts Harris in a more presidential light and formal style, offers some reprieve, this print issue has significance as a cultural souvenir (“you can’t give a screengrab to your grandchildren,” said Givhan), and there is no real opportunity for a do-over. “There’s no way to make people happy,” said Givhan, adding that it’s important to instead listen to criticism and “recognise where things went astray” in allowing this misstep to happen. “You just have to do better the next time, and the time after that and the time after that.” Related Articles:Anna Wintour Speaks on VP Cover Controversy, Amazon and Diversity EffortsThe Risks and Rewards of Dressing American Politicians Find out more about #BoFVOICES here.

So many 'enterprising' activities happened this week that the crew talked about. William “Rick Ross” Roberts II is the latest rapper to have his own Rap Snacks bag. “The Official Snack of Hip Hop” introduced new Sweet Chilli Lemon Pepper-flavored potato chips as part of a multi-product brand cooperation between the self-described “biggest boss that you have seen thus far” and the food company. Previously, Rap Snacks produced packaging that features Cardi B, Migos, Lil Yachty, Boosie, and other Hip Hop stars. Rozay also owns several Wingstop and Checkers franchises, and he is said to have a vast real estate portfolio. After two delays, the Ashanti versus Keyshia Cole matchup is finally set to take place next week. The music event was originally scheduled for December 11, 2020. Ashanti revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 and the showcase was then postponed to January 9. Verzuz organizers once again shelved the faceoff due to COVID issues. They eventually settled on Thursday, January 21 as the day fans will get to watch Keyshia and Ashanti go hit-for-hit from remote locations. Though it might seem, in light of all that is going on currently in Washington, D.C., the least of the matter, on Sunday a leaked shot of Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris’s Vogue cover set off an unexpected firestorm.February’s issue features Ms. Harris in a dark jacket by Donald Deal, skinny pants, Converse and her trademark pearls. She stands against a leaf green backdrop bisected by a spill of pink curtain, colors meant to evoke her Howard University sorority, caught in what seems like mid-laugh, hands clasped together at her waist. This was the print cover Ms. Harris’s team had expected, and that, like the internet opinionated, her people were unhappy with the more casual shot. What was your favorite shot? The Hollywood biopic train continues and this time it’s filled with the historical #BlackGirlMagic of Hattie McDaniel, the first Black person to ever win an Academy Award. It’s just been announced that Raven Goodwin, formerly of BET’s “Being Mary Jane,” has been cast to play Hattie McDaniel in a forthcoming biopic. Raven Goodwin was most recently seen as Denise Clark in the successful Lifetime biopic on the life of the legendary gospel group, The Clark Sisters. She’s known for her serve, but don’t sleep on Naomi Osaka’s style—or her rising empire. The Grand Slam champion is also the leader in earnings, becoming the highest-paid female athlete in 2020 with well over $30 million dollars in endorsements. Now, Osaka is also the new house ambassador of Louis Vuitton! Congrats to her!! For the "HOT TAKE" this week, we had entrepreneur Gabrielle Brown.

"President Trump has increasingly embraced, amplified or equivocated about a number of conspiracy theories in recent weeks," the Washington Post reported Thursday. "From the baseless QAnon movement to a racist theory about Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California's citizenship, Trump has given a nod to fringe groups and welcomed them into the mainstream of his party." Is this the culmination of the Republicans' failure to rein in the Tea Party early in the game? "New applications for unemployment benefits rose last week after a series of declines, another sign the labor market's recovery is cooling amid continuing disruptions because of the coronavirus pandemic," the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. "Weekly initial claims for jobless benefits rose by 135,000 to a seasonally adjusted 1.1 million in the week ended Aug. 15, the Labor Department said Thursday." The Journal mentions a recovery, even if it's slowing down - what recovery?"There is a misperception in western media that [Belarusian President Alexander] Lukashenko is [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's man. That is not true; Putin views him as an exasperating and rather dim legacy," Craig Murray wrote in a Thursday piece for Antiwar.com. "There is also a misperception in the west that Lukashenko really lost the recent election. That is not true. He almost certainly won, though the margin is much exaggerated by the official result." Why is it so difficult for Western media sources to get this right? It's Friday, so it's panel time. Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents"; and Kevin Zeese, editor of Popular Resistance, discuss Thursday night's conclusion of the Democratic National Convention.

With all the recent changes in privacy laws, it seems like a whole new world. Or perhaps not. In this episode, we connect with Travis LeBlanc, a well-seasoned professional with insight into government actions to discuss recent privacy developments through the lens of past actions. He was the chief of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Enforcement Bureau in the Obama years, worked as senior adviser to former California Attorney General - and now Vice-Presidential nominee - Kamala D. Harris and as special assistant attorney general of California. Today, he is the vice chair of Cooley’s cyber, data and privacy practice, a role he combines with the membership of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board of the United States.Join Paul Breitbarth and K Royal in this episode to discuss the changing world of privacy. Given the overlapping years, where Paul was with the Working Party 29 in Europe and Travis was with the FCC, Paul and Travis relived some of their shared experiences. But the conversation was not limited to regulator reminiscing. We discussed a variety of issues, from Schrems-II, the possibility of U.S. federal legislation on the horizon, and the CPRA, which also led to social justice issues.ResourcesTrustArc Privacy Shield Ruling Resources https://trustarc.com/trustarcs-privacy-shield-schrems-resource/https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-kamala-d-harris-launches-new-tool-help-consumers-report

As you can tell from the title even Saved Queens sometimes get a bit worn out. This week we're playing it fast and loose as we talk about everything from Zombies, who can use the N-Word, to our mutual crush on Hasan Minhaj. Somehow we also find the energy to discuss the new Justice in Policing Act along with the language around the "Defund The Police" movement. Enjoy the ride!Show NotesFor more information on the Justice in Policing Act introduced by Senator Kamala D.

Presidential candidate Democrat Kamala Harris speaks on the Register's Political Soapbox at the 2019 Iowa State Fair on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019. Official Website: https://kamalaharris.org/ Twitter @KamalaHarris https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris Kamala D. Harris is a lifelong public safety and civil rights leader. Elected in 2016, she is the second African American woman in history to be elected to the U.S. Senate, and the first African American and first woman to serve as Attorney General of the state of California. Throughout her career, Kamala has been a fearless advocate for the voiceless and vulnerable and a vocal and determined fighter on behalf of all people. As U.S. Senator, Kamala introduced or co-sponsored legislation to provide sweeping tax cuts for the middle class, address the high cost of rent, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, make higher education tuition-free for the vast majority of Americans, reform the cash bail system, protect the legal rights of refugees and immigrants, and expand access to affordable, quality health care with Medicare for All. Kamala has been a key voice in the fight to hold the Trump administration accountable, asking the tough questions on behalf of the American people. She serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Select Committee On Intelligence, and the Committee On Budget. As California’s Attorney General, Kamala prosecuted transnational gangs that exploited women and children and trafficked in guns and drugs. She led comprehensive studies and investigations into the impacts of transnational criminal organizations and human trafficking. Kamala achieved landmark results for middle-class Californians, by fighting the Wall Street banks and winning $20 billion for homeowners who were facing foreclosure during the Great Recession. She helped thousands of families stay in their homes and passed one of the nation’s strongest anti-foreclosure laws. Kamala aggressively defended the rights of consumers, winning major settlements holding big corporations accountable and forging innovative agreements with the technology industry to protect the privacy of Californians and crack down against online crime. She successfully sued predatory for-profit colleges that scammed students and veterans, prosecuted big polluters, and defended the Affordable Care Act from partisan attacks. Kamala has been at the forefront of major civil rights battles as well. She was proud to lead the team that helped bring down California’s Proposition 8 at the U.S. Supreme Court and to fight for marriage equality nationwide.
It's Friday: that means it's panel time, as we discuss the major stories of the week.Just over 24 hours after announcing his presidential bid, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has already raised $6 million from more than 225,000 donors, his campaign said Wednesday morning. That amount far surpasses what any of his rivals have disclosed raising after their own announcements this year. I know that it is still very early in the game, but is this a data point that we should take note of? Previously, Senator Kamala Harris of California had claimed the biggest early fundraising haul that had been made public, with $1.5 million in 24 hours. In comparison, Sanders' campaign said its fundraising in the first 24 hours came to $5.9 million. Sanders' early fundraising success is not unexpected: After all, he raised well over $200 million when he ran against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 election, and his list of online donors dwarfs those of his rivals.US President Donald Trump said Wednesday the United States would not re-admit an American-born woman Hoda Muthana, who traveled to Syria to join Daesh and now wants to come home. She does not qualify for citizenship and has no legal basis to return to the country, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said. In 2014, Muthana, then a 20-year-old student in Alabama, traveled to Turkey, hiding her plans from her family. She told them she was heading to a university event. In fact, she was smuggled into Syria, where she met up with Daesh. She has now seen the error of her ways and wants to come back home. Pompeo said Muthana did not have “any legal basis, no valid US passport, no right to a passport nor any visa to travel to the United States.” Muthana says she applied for and received a United States passport before leaving for Turkey. And she was born in the United States — ordinarily a guarantee of citizenship. Muthana's father was a Yemeni diplomat, and children born in the United States to active diplomats are not bestowed birthright citizenship, since diplomats are under the jurisdiction of their home countries. What's at play here?The Supreme Court struck an extraordinary blow for criminal justice reform on Wednesday, placing real limitations on what many have called policing for profit across the country. Its unanimous decision for the first time prohibits all 50 states from imposing excessive fines, including the seizure of property, on people accused or convicted of a crime. The Eighth Amendment guarantees that no “excessive fines” may be “imposed,” an ancient right enshrined in the Magna Carta and enthusiastically adopted by the Framers of the US Constitution. Police in the US employ civil asset forfeiture, a process that we would call theft in any other context. Here's how it works: Prosecutors accuse an individual of a crime, then seize assets that have some tenuous connection to the alleged offense. What are real implications of this decision? Three leading Democratic presidential candidates have recently signaled their support for some form of “reparations” for black Americans, broadly, if vaguely, backing the idea of compensating the descendants of enslaved people in the United States. Sens. Kamala D. Harris (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), as well as former Obama administration housing official Julián Castro, have all said in recent weeks they support reparations for African Americans. How will this translate on the election trail, and is it a realistic focus?GUESTS: Ariel Gold — National co-director for Codepink.
