Black History Month Rewind! “Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired”—Voting Rights and Voter Suppression

As part of our Black History Month Rewind at Ms. Studios, we're revisiting some of our favorite past episodes. First up, we're taking a look of voting rights and voter suppression, revisiting an episode recorded ahead of the 2020 presidential election. At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, voting activist and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer described the violent injustice she and others had endured while living under the South's Jim Crow rules and fighting for the right to vote: “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!”Over 50 years later, ahead of the 2020 election, we see record early voting across the country. Even so, serious efforts aimed at voter suppression persist, including curbing access to mail-in voting and shutting down polling locations.So, what are the biggest threats to voting rights today? How is voter suppression showing up in the 2020 election? What can we do to ensure that our elections remain free and fair?Joining us to discuss these issues are some very special guests:Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the National Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Clarke leads one of the nation's most important national civil rights organizations in the pursuit of equal justice for all. She is the author of Barack Obama and African American Empowerment: The Rise of Black America's New Leadership.Judge Glenda Hatchett, who served as senior attorney at Delta Airlines before becoming the chief presiding judge of Fulton County Georgia Juvenile Court in Atlanta.  Her law firm, the Hatchett Firm, represented Philando Castille's estate in the wake of his tragic death. She presides over the two-time Emmy-nominated courtroom series, Judge Hatchett, now in its 16th season. Most recently, she has returned to TV in her new television court series, The Verdict with Judge Hatchett.Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson, executive director of the Highlander Research and Education Center—and the first Black woman to hold that title.  She is an active participant on the governance council of the Southern Movement Assembly, and an organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice. She has served on the National Council of the Student Environmental Action Coalition.Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

Literally, it means “Who shall guard the guards?We hear the term “de-escalation of aggression” so often now-a-days.What does it really mean?In theory, de-escalation training has been widely implemented by U.S. law enforcement agencies in the wake of adverse public reaction to a rash of recent controversial police use of force (UoF) incidents.George Floyd, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castille, Eric Garner, just to name a few.How is it effectively put into practice on a daily basis, or is it really being employed or implemented regularly, at all?The essence of de-escalation involves:—      Engaging the person with empathy and reserving judgement—      Maintaining a calming presence and—      Setting limits, but picking your battlesOur learning concepts for this episode include:Educating you about the essentials of the de-escalation process that can aide you at:—      work—      home (in your interpersonal relationships) and—      in the mean streets—      We take a close up look at:  Graham v.

The city of Falcon Heights and St. Anthony Village are coming together for a workshop to consider a policing partnership Thursday night. Following the police killing of Philando Castille in 2016, Falcon Heights terminated their police contract with St. Anthony Village. Falcon Heights does not have their own police department, and since then has been contracting with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. That partnership will be coming to an end this year. And now Falcon Heights is looking for a long-term policing solution. Helping them make that decision is the Center for Values-Based Initiatives. They came out with a more than 100 page report to help guide the city through their policing needs. Former Ramsey County Sheriff Matt Bostrom is the president of that organization and led the city through that work. He joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer.

If you are anything like me, you like to think of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s & 60s as a movement that helped our country achieve, maybe not the entire dream that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. described, but at least something that was closer to that dream, something that showed we were on the right path toward fulfilling that dream. After all, didn't the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act get passed and implemented by the government? Haven't we seen great strides in the implementation of fair housing and lending? Hasn't segregation been relegated to the dark corners of our past? Unfortunately, this is a mythology that many of us would like to hold on to. The assassination of Dr. King in 1968 should have been enough to disabuse us of that mythology. And yet that mythology persists. In more recent years, it has been perforated and torn time and again by the abuse and murder of Black citizens by police and white supremecists: Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, Philando Castille, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Walter Scott, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Oscar Grant, Tamir Rice and so many more.These names represent our collective failure to realize King's dream of justice, equality and equity. Perhaps, if nothing else, these names help those of us in the white community to understand just how frayed and fractured that mythology of progress really is. And there is no place that I can think of that reveals the stark contrast between our hopes and their unfulfilled promise than the city of Birmingham, Alabama.  My guest today is Clay Cornelius, the owner and guide of Red Clay Tours in Birmingham, AL. How do we get to know cities that we visit? How do we get the lay of the land and find out what really happened there? Of course, we can visit monuments and historical sites, but that doesn't begin to fill in the canvas of a city. Clay is the sort of guide that will fill in that canvas with stories and historical detail that you can't get anywhere else. And that detail is especially important for a city as famous and infamous as Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham, as we know, played a huge role in the era of the civil rights struggle. It was the place of confrontation with Bull Connor, of tragedy with the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church and the deaths of four Black children. It was where Dr. King was jailed and wrote one of his most extraordinary writings, Letter from a Birmingham Jail. As I mentioned on a previous episode, I was part of a wonderful civil rights pilgrimage with a group from Westminster Presbyterian Church here in Olympia, WA. And Clay was our guide when we were in Birmingham and as you will hear, he is a fount of knowledge about Birmingham and its history.Books Mentioned in this episode:“Carry Me Home” by Diane McWhorter  “But for Birmingham: The Local and National Movements in the Civil Rights Struggle” by Glenn Eskew “A More Beautiful and Terrible History” by Jeanne Theoharris

Tommy Walker and Ross Hockrow's documentary short KAEPERNICK & AMERICA takes us back to the summer of 2016, an election year with unrest rumbling through America. There were countless triggers – the murder videos of Philando Castille and Alton Sterling, the counterpunch of Alt-Right and Fake News, Black Lives Matter, Russian meddling – a discordant national cauldron ready to boil over. It was the birth of Trumpism, but no knew it yet. Then, Colin Kaepernick took a knee and America lost its mind. Kaep's knee touched down on the divide between America's Black and white tectonic plates, creating an earthquake in the eternal race debate. The aftershocks of his singular gesture have already rippled through our country for years. Kaepernick himself answered any and all thoughtful questions for a time, then stopped talking. And the resulting quiet has allowed for a thoughtful examination of the man and his story. It reveals layer upon layer of surprises and contradictions.  Raised in a white family, he became a Black quarterback, while in fact, he is an adopted, biracial man. Co-directors Tommy Walker and Ross Hockrow join us to talk about their deep dive into the story behind the headlines and in doing so provide us with insight into how and why this inherently shy young man became the center of attention still dealing with the scourge of racism in America.

Woke Church by Dr. Eric Mason

After having recently read and reviewed Owen Strachan's book, 'Christianity and Wokism: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel - and the Way To Stop It,' and picking up from an episode published last August, 'Dr. Eric Mason and the Council of Philadelphia,' I made time yesterday and today to read Mason's 2018 book 'Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice.' Mason, you may recall, is pastor of Epiphany Fellowship Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And I think even less now that I mistook his tweet storm from 2018 about calling a modern day ecumenical council after having read 'Woke Church.' That is, I think now it would be hard to deny after reading his book that Mason is more than open to the ordination of women in the Church, nor either that he regards theologically conservative Christians opposed to such as anything other than sexists, nor either that he regards theologically conservative Christians opposed to the claims at the heart of social justice and Critical Race Theory as anything other than racists. But this goes back to one of the most helpful confirmations I gleaned from Strachan this past weekend. Most of the books promoting social justice and CRT to Christians don't actually use the technical terms for either. Rather, they argue the presuppositional claims of both so as to prime readers to view the Woke conclusions as inescapable and foregone. Just so, Mason here need not tell us he is for CRT and the ordination of women in those exact words for the discerning reader able to make 4 out of 2+2. To bemoan so many women who've graduated from seminaries but have a hard time getting hired by churches because of "traditional" and "cultural" stereotypes about gender does not leave much to the imagination, after all. For that matter, an odd kind of double-speak is present here where Mason gives an example of what he's hoping we'll see more of in telling how Matt Chandler emailed him and several other black ministers after the shooting death of Philando Castille to extend his condolences and apologize. But, wait. Do those same black ministers also email Matt Chandler and all the other white ministers they know when a young white man is shot by police in questionable circumstances? Or should they? Of course not. But then these are just the sorts of questions which we are expected to not ask on pain of being accused of racism and insensitivity. Thus there is no consistency. Young black men being appointed to leadership roles in churches and organizations is insulting because it's tokenism. But not having enough young black men represented in leadership is also offensive. Here is the test of whether this is the heart's cry of a humble minister of the gospel. Is Mason so willing to hear correction and calls to repentance if they might mean letting go some of the Leftist assumptions he picked up at the academy and in the hood? Are theologically conservative white brothers and sisters just as free to have a conversation about race and the church in America as he is? Or is Mason's idea of conversation like that of so many other Woke folk I've been friends and family to - a one-way monologue rather than a genuine give and take dialogue borne of honesty and good faith? From reading 'Woke Church,' I'm sorry to say I have a near certainty that the latter is the answer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

An interview with Natasha Brown, winner of the London Writers Award, and author of Assembly (Little Brown, 2021), the story of a young black British woman, marked by success in education and work, who asks a fundamental question: does my country care whether or I live or die? At a mere one hundred and two pages, Assembly manages to evoke more feeling, more sensorial reality than many novels twice its length. Natasha has gone to the novel's primary function—its vision into the inner life of a character—and she has brought it to bear on the precariousness of black life. The result is a work of literary fiction that is profoundly beautiful, with passages of poetic form and lyrical description of a world that her narrator experiences as ultimately negating. Negating of her agency, her accumulated wealth and status, her education, her citizenship, and ultimately of her bare life. Suffused with its contemporary moment, with references to the police killing of Philando Castille and the white nationalist resurgence in Britain, Assembly is fundamentally a reminder that the sun has yet to set on the imperial mindset, and that the black body and the black intellect still do not register within that logic.

At the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, voting activist and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer described the violent injustice she and others had endured while living under the South's Jim Crow rules and fighting for the right to vote: "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!”Over 50 years later, ahead of the 2020 election, we see record early voting across the country. Even so, serious efforts aimed at voter suppression persist, including curbing access to mail-in voting and shutting down polling locations. So, what are the biggest threats to voting rights today? How is voter suppression showing up in the 2020 election? What can we do to ensure that our elections remain free and fair? Helping us to sort out these questions and more are very special guests:Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Clarke leads one of the nation’s most important national civil rights organizations in the pursuit of equal justice for all. She is the author of Barack Obama and African American Empowerment: The Rise of Black America’s New Leadership.Judge Glenda Hatchett, who served as senior attorney at Delta Airlines before becoming the chief presiding judge of Fulton County Georgia Juvenile Court in Atlanta. Her law firm, the Hatchett Firm, represented Philando Castille’s estate in the wake of his tragic death. She presides over the two-time Emmy-nominated courtroom series, Judge Hatchett, now in its 16th season. Most recently, she has returned to TV in her new television court series, The Verdict with Judge Hatchett.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7I saw a beautiful photo story about Diamond. The artist said that cinema has to do a better job showing the tenderness of Black lives. I thought about it and remembered the single best moment in cinematic history is when Denzel Washington looked wickedness in the face, flexed his back, and braced his heart for an act of terrorism. You remember. His "ally", Matthew Broderick, ordered the use of violence to inject fear into the heart of this free Black man. Denzel resisted. And with a single tear of defiance, he became fearless. Fear is the greatest tool of white supremacy. So today, we honor a real spiritual warrior. A woman named Diamond Reynolds, who refused to be paralyzed by fear and found a way to speak.Spiritual Warrior of the Day:On July 6, 2016, Diamond Reynolds watched the murder of her boyfriend Philando Castille. The officer's gun was still drawn. Pointing in the car at her and her 4-year-old daughter. At that moment, Diamond got snatched up by a spirit of love and became fearless. She pressed record to tell the world what was happening to her family. It was an act of raw and radical love."There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear." - 1 John 4:18Once it was over, Diamond folded into soft tears. Unafraid, once again to show us a Black woman. Vulnerable. Real. Soft.That is spiritual warriorship.Do not give them your humanity. Don't stop crying. Don't stop loving. In fact, love harder. ...your children, your neighbors, your soul mates, your self, your God. Your love is perfect. Black women, don't fold into darkness. Your love is our light. Rock with it. Roll with it. Wail if you have to. Tell the world what is happening to us. Shout it out. Don't hold it in. That's what Diamond taught us. It's no wonder she calls herself Lavish Reynolds. She IS lavish. Thick with humanity. Thick with loving-kindness. Thick with inextinguishable joy. With radical vulnerability. With supreme love and light. And at point-blank range, fear could not win over her love.

I need you to take a posture of total victory. On July 9, 2016, a balmy morning in Baton Rouge, a 35-year-old nurse inspired the world. Ieshia Evans had watched Alton Sterling’s murder on the news from her home in Philadelphia. She’d never attended a protest before. It didn’t matter. Alton Sterling’s death came on the heels of the brutal murder of Philando Castille in front of his family. She couldn’t sit by. She packed her bags and traveled to Louisiana for a march for Black lives. With shoulders back, heart open, eyes to the horizon – she stood in her fullness as an armed force in riot gear advanced to suppress the peaceful calls for life. She stood her ground. Fearless. With total equanimity. And was arrested. But before this powerful woman was arrested, photographer Jonathan Bachman captured a moment of pure equanimity, of fearlessness, and today, we celebrate Ieshia Evans as a spiritual muse. We name her as first in a line of 21 spiritual warriors whose actions will guide our strategy for complete liberation. “This is the work of God. I am a vessel.” Ieshia saidIt reminds me so much of David when Saul asked who will go and fight Goliath, the giant Philistine. Young David said, here am I, send me. He said, I can take him. “I have a history with God.” Listen... I’m here to tell every Black woman reading this today that YOU have a history with God.

Matthew 9:35 -10:8Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness.These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother, Andrew; James, son of Zebedee, and his brother, John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You have received without payment; give without payment. Some of you know – and have asked me about – my time in downtown Indy the last couple of weekends, participating in the peaceful protests for racial justice that have been such a large part of our nation’s life since George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. (Notice I said “peaceful protests,” not riots, there’s a distinct and meaningful difference.) Some of what I witnessed at these protests was new to me, in so many ways; and surprising; and worth sharing. I saw lots of signs, of course, and heard all the chants – some so clever they were funny. Some so full of rage, they were unsettling, at times.I saw people carrying gallons of milk on a hot summer day, in case they needed it to wash away the pepper spray or tear gas that are a distinct possibility and a common occurrence when the sun goes down on a protest, as you know.I saw white civilians dressed in camouflage, with automatic weapons strapped across their chests.I was wearing my funny shirt with the clerical collar, which makes many people assume I’m a priest. One guy said, “You don’t see many Catholic priests at these things, Father.” I said, “I’m a Lutheran.” He said, “That makes more sense.” (I took that as a compliment.) I saw police officers doing their job – minding the crowd, even greeting and talking with protesters. I went out of my way to acknowledge them a time or two and they returned the favor. I can’t imagine the fortitude and sense of vocation it takes for the good ones to do their job these days.I saw one white man trying to instigate a group of black protesters, throwing a water bottle at them, trading insults, and calling them a bunch of “N” words.I watched organizers pass around Sharpie markers and sharing the phone number we were instructed to write on our bodies in two different places, should we get arrested and need to be bailed out, if things went sideways or got ugly.I was even ritually “smudged” with sage smoke from a protester who was performing the ritual as an offering of protection and cleansing for those who had gathered.So when I read, in this morning’s Gospel, that when Jesus looked at the crowds back in Galilee, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd, I thought about the crowds that gather for protests like the ones taking place these days in our own country and around the world. “…harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd…”I’m not sure why it’s happening now. I’m not sure why these particular deaths – George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Dreasjon Reed, and Ahmaud Arbery, I mean – seem to have sparked an outrage – if not a revolution – that the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Philando Castille, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Laquan McDonald, Botham Jean, Latasha Harlins, Amadou Diallo, and Emmett Till weren’t able to instigate. I’m not sure what’s different this time around and after so many years. And, sadly, I’m not at all convinced that the change so many of us long for is really going to come as soon or as fully as we would like.But, people of color – especially Black and Indigenous people – in this country, are telling us – and have been telling us for generations – that they indeed feel and have felt harassed and helpless for so long in so many ways. And as followers of Jesus, we are called to be moved – like Jesus was – with compassion for them.And the hard, holy news today is that immediately after his compassion is stirred, Jesus calls upon his disciples to do something about it, acknowledging that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. There was, there is, there always will be so much work to do, and too often not as many people willing or able or inspired enough to do the heavy lifting. But for those who are ready and willing, Jesus gives the authority to do some amazing things: to cast out demons and to cure every disease and every sickness. And I would contend that the demons and the dis-ease and the sicknesses that need casting out and curing in this day and age, include but are not limited to the likes of prejudice, bigotry, white supremacy, and racism.And yes, I’m talking about George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, and the many others on that list. But I’m talking about things closer to home, too. Like the fact that within the last three years a Black boy at one of our schools was told to go drink from another drinking fountain. Or the fact that my children, and many of yours, have never had a Black teacher. (And neither did I, for that matter, in 20 years of public school, undergraduate university, and seminary education.) And I’m talking about the fact that zero Black people call Cross of Grace Lutheran Church their home. And that one member of our congregation told me once, not long ago, standing in our narthex, without shame, that he called the cops on a young Black man driving through his neighborhood, because “he clearly didn’t belong there.”And as terrifying and as disgusting and as frustrating and as embarrassing as those examples are to share, I find some hope for all of this in today’s Gospel – because of what we heard in last week’s Gospel. See, I listened differently last week to that little ditty we heard from the end of Matthew, Chapter 28, when Jesus said, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age.” “Go…” “All nations.” “…everything I have commanded you.” “Always…to the end of the age.”But at times like this, I am overwhelmed by the scope of that, I have to admit – what we call our “great commission.” It’s all so much, so daunting, and more than I feel ready for or capable of on a lot of days, to be honest.But I am reminded to be relieved, some, by this morning’s Gospel story – earlier in Matthew’s Gospel, Chapters 9 and 10 – where Jesus, in the midst of traveling around his own little neck of the woods in Galilee, calls his disciples together to set them about their mission in the world. Because when Jesus sends the disciples to “the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” as he says it this morning, he’s sending them to share the message and the story and the hard, holy good news of it all with the Jews – with their own people – people they know, people they love perhaps, or at least people they could relate to. “Gather with the ones you know,” he seems to be saying. “Keep it in the family, for now.” “Talk to your own people – friends and family, folks from your own synagogue, in your own neighborhoods, from your own cities and villages and towns. We’ll get to the nations later – somewhere in chapter 28.”And I don’t mean for this to be a cop out. It’s not a sneaky way to suggest we not reach out to people who are different from us. This isn’t me – or Jesus – saying God’s good news is just for people who sound and smell or live or look like me. I am in no way suggesting we limit the scope of our outreach to what is familiar and comfortable and close to home. I’m acknowledging that it all matters, for sure, but that maybe our first steps these days – however small – are meant to lead to something more down the road. Because, the story we are sharing is one of good news and of hope and of grace for all people. The Gospel we are called to tell about is a Gospel meant for the nations, for sure. “Red and Yellow, Black and White, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” There is no denying that. But when it comes to casting out and curing the sins and the sickness of racism and white supremacy and prejudice and bigotry, this is white people’s work. We need to get our own house in order before we can reach the nations, as God intends. This work is for you and me to do for ourselves, with each other, and for the sake of the world. This work is for those of us – myself included – who are blind to and who benefit so much from the systems of inequality that run the world around us.And I know there are plenty who wish I would get off of this soap box. Some of you have told me as much. And I’m sorry, but not so sorry about that right now. There’s a difference between a soap box and a pulpit. And when I stop collecting examples of blatant racism and bigotry from my own, everyday life – or from the lives of my children – in this community and in this congregation and from the church-at-large, I might feel compelled to slow my roll a bit. But the harvest is plentiful. There his so much work to be done. And please hear me when I say I’m learning along the way myself, in more ways than I wish I still need to learn. Which is where I’d like to invite you to join me today – and in the days ahead. Several of you have joined me in Race Relations Dialogue Circles around here over the course of the last few years. (I’m more than a little proud to say it didn’t take a televised lynching to inspire that work for our congregation.) But I would like to broaden the scope of those conversations and of that learning sooner, rather than later, in light of current events.So, in the next couple of weeks I will be inviting us to read some books, watch some documentaries, listen to some podcasts and, of course, to have some conversation and prayer about how we might respond to Jesus’ invitation to love one another, to cast out the evil of racism, to cure the sickness of bigotry, to heal the dis-ease of injustice that plagues our black and brown sisters and brothers and should therefore feel like a plague upon us, just the same.And just like those first disciples were sent, first, to their friends, families, and neighbors with the work Jesus called them to, I hope we will start with what and who we know. Let’s start in our kitchens. Let’s begin in our living rooms. Start something in your son’s car or your daughter’s bedroom. Begin at your own front door – at your office – on your neighbor’s porch. There are people all around us – acquaintances and the best of friends – who have something to learn from and to teach each of us in all of this.That’s what this morning’s Gospel is about for me this time around – doing the work of the Gospel for and with neighbors, family and friends – nothing more and nothing less. Today, Jesus isn’t sending us to the nations just yet. Today, Jesus is calling us to each other – to those we know and to those who know us. “Baby steps,” he seems to be saying, “if that’s still what it takes to begin.” “Share a little bit of yourself. Share a little bit about whatever you know or need to learn with the people close to you, and let’s just see if – finally… finally… finally – where the work of ending racism in our midst is concerned – the good news of great joy and justice and grace for all people will change the world as God intends.” Amen

In recent years there has been a shift in how our Country views criminal justice. Partly, but strongly, influenced by the deaths of Sandra Bland, Philando Castille, Kalief Browder and a number of other individuals, large segments of our Country are questioning the legitimacy of our justice system. Some statistics - to add further discontent - show that the United States, locks up more people, per capita, than any other nation. As a result of this, large segments of the United States are demanding reform. In response to these demands, progressive Criminal Justice reforms have emerged. And along with these reforms have come a new breed of law enforcement official: the progressive prosecutor. As an example, in St. Louis and Philadelphia, this movement has placed Wesley Bell (a former Public Defender) and Larry Krasner (a Civil Rights Lawyer), respectively, into the role of the head prosecutor. One would not be unreasonable to say that civil opinion on Criminal Justice has drastically shifted. In the 80s and 90s, this progressive agenda was political suicide. In 2019, it might be the only way to get into power in certain areas. But despite this shift, many people remain skeptical of the progressive prosecutor. What, exactly, does it mean? Some say that even the idea is a paradox. On June 25, 2019, Queens New York will effectively hold a referendum on this matter. For the first time in twenty-eight years, Queens will elect a new District Attorney as a result of the departure and death of former Queens DA Richard Brown. In this episode of BANA, we welcome Mina Malik. With deep and diverse experience in Criminal Justice, Mina explains what separates her from a crowded race of seven candidates.After starting her career as a criminal investigator at the DC Public Defender Service, Mina then served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Queens DAs office for fifteen years. Mina later was selected by the former Brooklyn District Attorney, the late Ken Thompson, to serve as his Special Counsel and helped Design Brooklyn’s Conviction Review Unit. In addition to these roles, she also served as the Executive Director of the New York City Civilian Complain Review Board, the committee that overlooks the police department - most notably overseeing the disciplinary charges against the police officer involved in the death of Eric Garner. Most recently, she also served as the Deputy Attorney General for the District of Columbia, and finally but not least, she is also a lecturer at Harvard Law School.

The Brady Bill “Bypass” - (private sellers, in most states) Other Federal Gun Foolishness Federal law fails to require law enforcement officers to investigate the multiple sales or purchases of firearms that are reported. Federal law actually prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from disclosing reports of multiple sales (other than those involving prohibited purchasers) and requires those agencies to destroy such reports and related records within 20 days of receipt. Federal Work Around - Some states require reporting Places that have or have had strict gun laws and correlating gun violence. Washington D.C. - All guns were illegal from 1976 - 2009 California Maryland Connecticut, NJ, NY NY - The City limits all firearm purchases (not just handguns) to one handgun and one rifle or shotgun every 90 days.

This week, we air 2 interviews, one about the case of the Cleveland 4 and one with members of Unicorn Riot.      pt 1: The Cleveland 4 Firstly, we speak with Amanda Shemkes.  Amanda does legal support for members of the Cleveland 4.  The Cleveland 4, or CLE4, are 4 anarchists who're serving around a decade in Federal prisons in the U.S. on charges of terrorism.  Back story is that Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright, Joshua "Skelly" Stafford and Anthony Hayne were arrested on April 30th in 2012 for attempting to blow up a bridge with the provocation of an FBI informant named Shaquille Azir.  The young anarchists had coalesced during Occupy Cleveland as a group after encamping together, being involved in food distribution and activism and were targeted and entrapped by Azir who escalated their talk of direct action to the bombing plot and provided them with work, housing, drugs, alcohol, access to (fake) explosives and more.  Anthony Hayne took a cooperating plea deal with the Federal Government while Brandon Baxter, Connor Stevens, Doug Wright and Skelly all received sentences of around a decade each with terrorism enhancements promising lifetime probation.  Amanda talks about their case, their time inside, government attacks on social movements and how to support Brandon, Connor, Doug & Skelly, the Cleveland 4. More on their case can be found at http://cleveland4solidarity.org  Also of note, Connor Steven's birthday is coming up on December 17th, so send him a bday card!  Same day is Chelsae Manning's bday, actually... on that note, why not visit PrisonBooks.Info to see political prisoner birthdays for this month and sign up to receive the monthly calendar that the Prison Books Collective puts out?  No good reason, I reckon.   pt 2: Unicorn Riot Following this, we speak with volunteers with the non-profit, radical media outlet Unicorn Riot.  Founded in 2014, UR has expanded from it's Minneapolis base to be present on the ground at struggles around the U.S. covering events as they unfold with the words of the people involved, documenting the brutality of the state's reactions and bravery in the streets and the fields of those resisting.  As a platform, UR distributes regular tv episodes, podcasts and features small news briefs as well as a presence on social media.  UR's coverage of the uprisings in Minneapolis around the killings and lack of justice in the killings of Jamar Clark  & Philando Castille and more recently of the struggles of Water Defenders at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota have gone viral, increasing solidarity and pressed mainstream media outlets to expand their coverage of these violent government interventions. In this second half of the episode, the plucky media rebels share their views on activism and journalism, on media paradigms, their project and some of the resistance it's participated in. A quick postscript correction Patrick misspoke a couple of times during the interview that we didn't catch. Corrections are: 1.) When describing the drone rules on Standing Rock, he meant to refer to no-fly rules from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and not the FCC (which oversees broadcast restrictions and allowances in the U.S.); 2.) When Patrick talks about Niko being flagged down by police to broadcast a police statement over Unicorn Riot, it was actually during the Justice for Jamar Clark struggle, not in the aftermath of the killing of Philando Castille. Also, a tool noted by Wendy & Pat for research into government coverup used by journalists these days: https://www.muckrock.com/   This week Sean Swain shares his thoughts on Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution in light of Fidel's death last week.  More from Sean at http://seanswain.org   Announcements   Asheville Peace Vigil with Standing Rock Tomorrow, Monday December 5th in Asheville there's a prayer and vigil in Soldarity with Standing Rock as regards the struggle to stop the expansion of the Dakota Access Pipeline we'll be talking about later in the episode.  Folks are meeting at 6pm at Pack Square.  Bring an offering.   Anti-klan rallies in NC/VA Also, big ups to the folk who went out to face off the kkk motorcade on Saturday the 3rd in Danville, VA & Pelham, NC.  This time the KKK got their own stabby after the fact.   Tragic fire at Ghostship warehouse in Oakland Of note, our hearts here at the final straw go out to those suffering the devastating effects of the fire at the Ghostship warehouse on Friday December 2nd during a 100% Silk party.  According to the most recent KGO-7 news out of San Francisco at 2pm EST on Sunday the 4th of December, 24 victims have been found inside the warehouse.  A list of missing people has been compiled in an article on heavy.com.  Not all of those pictured are known to be among the victims of Friday's fire.  To donate to relief funds, visit youcaring.com.   Playlist pending

That’s right, it’s me, Marc Hershon. Your host and all-electric vehicle for Epi138 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. NOTE: If you haven’t been here the past couple of episodes, we’ve started a campaign to change the generic use of the word “podcast” to “soundcast”. (I realize that this gets a little sticky for those shows that pretty much officially have “podcast” in the name. The word is part of our logo design here on Succotash and for the past 5+ years, we’ve been THE Comedy Podcast Podcast. But the name is anchoring the medium to a single device – the iPod from Apple – so I want to throw it back wide open with the new designation soundcast.  Our announcer Bill Heywatt is supposed to be cutting new intros and outros for the show to reflect the name change, but our engineer/producer Joe Paulino has had a computer meltdown at Studio P. So until he gets things back up and rolling we’re stuck with the old P-word in the open and close to the show. And also have to get around to changing the logo, as seen here. No one said this soundcast biz was going to be easy. Or did they? I can’t remember… First of all BIG news! BIG BIG News, in a way – it really isn’t going to change anything as far as I know, but Succotash is now available for your listening pleasure through the I Heart Radio chain, network, thing. It hasn’t required us to do much, as far as I can tell but we are on there! Potentially MILLIONS of new listeners can now avoid us. Just go to IHeartRadio.com and search for Succotash OR click this link! LIVE APPEARANCES! I’ve got a couple of live appearances coming up. If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m going to be part of the 40th year reunion show of Spaghetti Jam, which was a really popular improvisational comedy show in San Francisco starting back in the 1970s. We’re gettign as many of the people that we can find that can still move most of their limbs to show up for this. It’s on Sunday, September 11th – that’s right, 9-11, best date for a comedy show ever, at the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley. You can go to http://142ThrockmortonTheatre.org for tickets and information. And then later in the month – September 23-25 – I’ll be at the 5th Annual Los Angeles Podcast Festival. I’m hosting the Journalism and Podcasting panel on Sunday afternoon at 2 PM, but the rest of the time, I’ll be set up in the Podcast Lab with my equipment doing interviews so stop on by and let’s chat! Back to business. This is another installment of Succotash Clips, and it’s chock full of tasty snippets of soundcasts and podcasts from all over the web. I clipped a couple, our associate producer Tyson Saner grabbed a few, and we also have some uploaded directly to us using our upload link: http://hightail.com/u/Succotash. In alphabetical order, we’ll be hearing from Dark Journey, Dazed & Convicted, Dino & Andy’s Skull Juice, Drinking In The Park,Lesser Known Somebodies, Proudly Resents, Spirits, Tao Of Comedy, and The 85th South Show. We also have a visit to the Podcast Graveyard to hold a clip seance with a soundcast from the great beyond. Plus a Burst O’ Durst from our friend, political comedian, and social commentator Will Durst. We also have a little ditty for our pal Abner Serd. Not to mention a Scrooge McDuck–style dip into the Tweetsack. This episode of Succotash Clips is brought to you by Henderson’s Pants. If you’re in the market for fictional pants that fit like a dream and don’t really exist, you should get yourself a pair of Henderson’s Pants. THE CLIPS! Dino And Andy’s Skull JuiceLet’s start out with a clip from a brand new soundcast, one that reviewed last week for Splitsider.com. It’s got the great title of Dino And Andy’s Skull Juice, and features Dino Stamatopolous, a guy who’s written on SNL, created Adult Swim’s Moral Orel, wrote and appeared on Community, and has written a whole bunch of funny stuff besides. Andy Dick is, well, Andy Dick. He’s been a standup comedian, sketch and improv player, as well as having appeared in films and television. These guys were pals for 25 years, although, as Dino points out in episode #1, he didn’t talk to Andy for 10 years. (Our esteemed Associate Producer Tyson Saner snagged this clip from their kickoff episode, which picks up right from their opening theme song.) Lesser Known SomebodiesFriend-of-the-Succotash Abner Serd sent along a link to a comedy podcast he found out of South Africa. It’s called Lesser Known Somebodies, hosted by Johannesberg-based comedian Simmi Areff, and the latest installment features fellow local comic Alfred Adriaan. Took me a few minutes to get into the rhythm of the accent but then these guys unspool a kind of fascinating glimpse inside the current comedy scene in and around Johannesberg. (I got such a kick out of listening to Lesser Known Somebodies that I reviewed it in last week’s Huffington Post.) Proudly Resents We got a clip sent over by Adam Spiegelman, he of the Proudly Resents podcast. (He was complaining that there was no upload button on our Succotash homesite, which is true. I am working to remedy that. But you can always just got to http://hightail.com/u/Succotash and then upload a 3-5 minute MP3 clip.) He recently had Conan writer Todd Levin on to help him dismantle Ninja 3: The Domination. At one point Todd talks about the only time Conan O’Brien ever got sued. As Adam tells it, “It involves a one-hit wonder, an 80’s film, and Tim Tebo.” Dazed & Convicted: CraigslostWe got a clip uploaded to us from the delightful Monica Hamburg, host of the Dazed & Convicted soundcast. Lately, it’s been subtitled as Dazed & Convicted: Craigslost. And why, you might ask? Monica likes combing the seedier side of Craigslist and presents, literally, the pick of the litter. Litter being the operative word… The 85 South ShowTyson clipped us a taste of The 85 South Show, which is billed as “a podcast for people who don’t know what a podcast is." It’s hosted by DC Young Fly and Karlous Miller. This clip we have is from an episode done in the wake of police-involved shootings, the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castille, with the hosts and their guest, Last Comic Standing champ Clayton English, discussing solutions to stop the violence, and the role that comedy plays in the social dialog. #blacklivesmatter Spirits Okay, I don’t know how many times I have said on this show that we prefer to play clips rather than promos. Clips make for better, real-er sample of the show. And I can talk about ‘em. When we had Hal Lublin and Mark Gagliardi on earlier this year, they even made a definitive We Got This ruling that clips are better than promos. But some people don’t get it, and that’s fine. We support all soundcasts and so it is that spirit that I present this 30-second promo of Spirits without additional commentary… Drinking In The ParkJust the opposite of the challenge of Spirits is what I’ve got going on with a show called Drinking In The Park. The hosts are Neil and Johnny, per their direct upload to Succotash, with no last names. But they sent me the whole episode Issue 10, Live At Toronto Comicon. Not a clip, but almost 10 minutes of chat and music stuff. Still better than a promo! I sliced out a few minutes of them talking to some joker who calls himself That Joker Guy. Doctor Who: Dark JourneyThis is a clip from a show called Doctor Who: Dark Journey. I don’t think it’s officially affiliated with the British TV series Dr. Who at all. In fact, I know it isn’t, because here’s the note that came with clip: “The attached file is a clip from AM Audio Media's main audio drama Doctor Who: Dark Journey. Dark Journey is an unofficial fan made audio drama featuring professional actors, writers, sound designers and composers. Our theme tune is by the UK prog rock group 'Traffic Experiment'. Dark Odyssey is a bit of a wink and nod self parody of it and all things fan made.” The Tao of ComedyThis podcast has a pretty grim origin story. The host, Kelly Maclean, had been at last year’s Just For Laughs festival in Canada, where she interviewed a number of comedians. Four months later, her brother Andrew was killed in a car accident. The conversations she had in Montreal were the things that brought her back from crushing depression and so she’s launched the podcast in order to continue that kind of deep interchange with funny people. In this clip from Epi10, she’s talking to Brad Williams, standup and co-host of the About Last Night soundcast. Podcast GraveyardIn the 5 years that I’ve been running Succotash, comedy writer Caleb Bacon has had two very listenable soundcasts. The first was called The Gentleman’s Club which took a podcast dirtnap at the end of 2012. A few months later, Caleb was back with more of an instructional soundcast called Man School, in which he talked to guys from various walks off life, although most were somehow connected to show business, and he’d get their story about some deep subject matter. A little over a year ago, in June of 2015, the last known class of Man School was in session. The clip we're featuring is from a few epis before that one, #83, with Caleb and his guest comic, writer and fellow podcaster Mick Betancourt (The Mick Betancourt Show), talking about life as a sober alcoholic.

In the wake of the cell phone videos of the recent killings of citizens Alton Sterling, Jerry Jai Williams, and Philando Castille, followed by the shootings of police, the nation is in a state of tension and upheaval. And police have arrested the man who posted the video of Alton Sterling's death. On national TV, a political servant, Congressman Steve King (Republican from Iowa) declared that non-white people did nothing to contribute to Western civilization. He went and lost his damn mind and labeled non-white people as "sub-groups". No one moved to check him. Apparently, the public invocation of white supremacy is acceptable, even from a member of Congress. The Republicans rallied for their hatefest - the national convention - which featured speakers who put their xenophobia and racism on display. Another officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray has been acquitted. Kinda looks like Mr. Gray severed his own spine and crushed his own voice box, while handcuffed with his feet shackled.  In Los Angeles at City Hall, protests are going into the second week, as demands are made for LAPD Chief Charlie Beck to step down. Protestors are demanding this response to the fatal shooting of a black woman, 30 year old Redel Jones, last year. NYPD Officer leaks secret recording of his supervisor instructing him to racially profile black men. A former Atlanta cop, James Burns, is charged with murder for killing an unarmed driver, 22 year old Deravis Caine Rogers, on June 22 Tuesday, July 19, 6pm Pacific .

Last week our nation was rattled when two videos went viral showing two African American men die after being shot by police officers. Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile near St Paul, Minnesota. Later that week 5 Dallas area Police officers named Michael Smith, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Patrick Zamarripa, & Brent Thompson were gunned down by a man alleged to be targeting white police. Emotions flared all throughout the nation as Black Lives Matter activists and protestors, anti-BLM protestors, and police officer spokespeople sent messages back and forth at one another in dispute about whose “lives mattered” and it played out all across the mass and social media. There is a lot of tension around these issues right now and some fear that things might get worst before they improve. Listen in as Scott & John go through each case separately to share how they percieved each incident and how it made them feel. John also shares how European Americans within his social circles perceived the incidents and Scott does the same from the African American Perspective before they both close out with suggestions for solutions. This is the most important show to date. Welcome to the Dialogue! Find show notes at www.RaceHavenPodcast.com Podcast Episode 17

Three years ago this week, a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Like many people across the country, we were stunned, and saddened at the loss of life and lack of justice. We asked Lucie Brooks to join us in the studio that week, and help us analyze the cases presented by both the prosecution and defense, and what may have lead to the not-guilty verdict. Lucie taught us about jury demographics and how they affect trial outcomes (Zimmerman's just was made up of five white women and one Puerto Rican woman). And we also talked about something more personal: Lucie's experiences as the white mom of four black sons. Just over a year later, a police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. Protests sprung up in the neighborhood, and the police responded with curfews and riot squads. International media descended on the St. Louis suburb. We thought surely things would change. Police departments would implement extra training about de-escalation, internal biases, and use of force. All the attention on Ferguson would bring change. The Black Lives Matter movement, formed in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, was galvanized. At that time, we spoke to now-Representative-elect Attica Scott, about the interplay between police departments, local governments, and their communities. Like Lucie, she spoke about raising black sons. Now, three years later, Philando Castille and Alton Sterling were both shot by police, in different cities, just days apart. They became the latest in what seems like an unending cycle of shootings, administrative leave, hashtags, protests, and acquittals. We're listening back to parts of our conversations with Attica and Lucie this week, since they are, sadly, still just as relevant here in the summer of 2016. In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about a Yale employee who pulled a Bree Newsom in the Calhoun College dining hall, where he worked. Corey Menafee smashed a stained glass window that depicted enslaved people picking cotton. He was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for reckless endangerment in the second degree and a felony for criminal mischief in the first degree. Yale has asked the state's attorney in Connecticut to drop the charges, and Menafee has since resigned. And on a brighter note, the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors returned this week after a six-year hiatus, with a special show honoring the genre's female pioneers. We talk about the performances we loved, and women's importance in hip-hip history.
