Podcasts about police violence

In this episode, Hawk dissects the eight-day unraveling of Donald Trump's presidency from June 7 to June 14. What began with an illegal deployment of National Guard troops escalated into mass protests across the nation and culminated in a failed military parade intended to intimidate—but instead inspired millions.Hawk outlines the administration's legal missteps, including the San Francisco federal judge's ruling against Trump's executive order and the shocking militarization of Los Angeles. Trump's attempted strongman tactics—featuring Marines, ICE raids, and overt threats—are laid bare, along with the political fallout from his feud with Elon Musk.California Governor Gavin Newsom, now elevated as a leading opposition figure, and Senator Alex Padilla's televised arrest highlight just how fast Trump's control is slipping. Meanwhile, Hawk skewers Trump supporters' calls for violence, the hypocrisy of “law and order” rhetoric, and the grotesque spectacle of a president who can't control his own parade, let alone the country.This episode blends political satire, hard-hitting facts, and Hawk's unfiltered commentary. Whether it's dissecting Trump's obsession with power or calling out the cruelty behind MAGA culture, Hawk delivers 90 minutes of sharp analysis and righteous anger.

La Raza Database Research Project is bringing awareness to police violence against Latinos.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: You wouldn't know it from the data, but Latinos are the second most likely demographic to be killed by law enforcement in the U.S, relative to their population. We only have these statistics now thanks to the work of La Raza Database Research Project, a group of volunteers in Southern California who are bringing awareness to systematic police violence against the Latino population. They estimate that almost 6,500 Latinos have been killed by police between 2000 and 2022 – but the data has been missing until this moment. In this unusual installment of our monthly “Meet the BIPOC Press” series, Laura and Senior Producer Jeremiah Cothren sit down with LF&F Social Justice Reporting Fellow, Roberto Camacho, who interviewed members of the Research Project to figure out why Latinos are so frequently misrepresented. Camacho also spoke with the mother and sister of César Antonio Rodriguez, a young man tragically killed by the Long Beach Police Dept in 2017 and misidentified in police records. Camacho is a Chicano multimedia journalist focusing on criminal justice reform, immigration and Chicano/Latino issues. He originally reported on this story for Palabra.Guests:• Ivette Xochiyotl Boyzo: Research Project Manager, La Raza Database• Roberto Camacho: Journalist; Social Justice Reporting Fellow, Laura Flanders & Friends• Jeremiah Cothren (Co-host): Senior Producer, Laura Flanders & Friends• Jesus M.

The use of force by police has been in the news a lot lately, in connection to everything from protests on college campuses to the death of individuals during arrests. There's no singular, shared definition of what use of force is according to the National Institute of Justice. A local police department will set a standard, but that threshold for when an office should use force varies from place to place. Having no standard set of rules or definitions makes it difficult for researchers to study the issue. That's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Claire Kelling. Claire Kelling is an assistant professor of statistics at Carleton College. She's an expert on data and statistics in relation to police use of force and says her work sits "at the intersection of criminology and spatial statistics". Kelling organized the 2023 Ingram Olkin Forum on Statistical Challenges in the Analysis of Police Use of Force. Five articles from that forum appeared in a special themed section of December's issue of Chance including several authored or co-authored by Kelling.

A 2019 report showed that police violence is a leading cost of death for young Black men in the United States. About one in every 1,000 Black men can expect to be killed by the police, with the highest risk amongst all ethnic groups and genders between the ages of 20 and 35 years old. Police violence has been identified as a public health issue among public health experts as well as advocates and activists. What role, then, do doctors and pediatricians have in preparing patients and their families to be aware of this public health risk? On today's show, we're in conversation with two pediatricians who led the research of a recent peer-reviewed research letter, titled “Pediatrician Perspectives on Incorporating Discussion of Police Encounters Into Anticipatory Guidance for Black Youth and Their Caregivers“. Dr Jeffrey Eugene is a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist, working with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as well as Philadelphia FIGHT Community Health Centers. His clinical expertise is in adolescent and young adult primary care, gender affirming medical care, sexual and reproductive health, medical care for youth living with HIV, and eating disorders. Dr George Dalembert, is a pediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine. Additionally, he serves on the Governance as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committees of the Pennsylvania chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics. He is also an author on the report that we're discussing today.

The Police Minister says recent incidents where vehicles have been driven into officers are part of a rise of anti-Police violence. An officer has moderate injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Huntly on Wednesday night. It comes weeks after Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming was killed, and another officer was injured after being struck by a vehicle in Nelson on New Year's Day. Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking these kinds of incidents are happening more often around the world, including here in New Zealand. He says overall, the type of violent offending Police and first responders are having to deal with has been growing over the years. The Government is promising tougher sentences, Mitchell saying he'll be introducing a bill to address these types of incidents by the end of next month. He says the bill will introduce tougher sentences, require cumulative rather than concurrent sentences, and clearly define emergency service workers.

Criminal law expert and Stanford Law Professor David Sklansky joins Pam Karlan to discuss his book Criminal Justice in Divided America: Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy, published in January. In this episode, they explore what he sees as the failures of America's criminal justice system—from overly harsh sentences and prosecutorial abuses to the under-utilization of the jury system—that don't just harm individuals, but erode the very foundations of democratic governance. They also examine the rise and fall of community policing, the role of mental health in police encounters, and the impact of jury service on civic engagement, offering insights into how criminal justice shapes political and social landscapes while proposing steps toward reform.Sklansky, a former federal prosecutor, teaches and writes about policing, prosecution, criminal law and the law of evidence at Stanford Law, where he is also the faculty co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:David Sklansky >>> Stanford Law pageCriminal Justice in Divided America, Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy >>> Stanford Lawyer magazine online feature(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Criminal Justice and the Erosion of DemocracyPam Karlan welcomes professor David Sklansky and explains the link between the crises of criminal justice and democracy, discussing how failures in criminal law and policy have undermined democratic values. The conversation touches on racial disparities, equal protection, and how the criminal justice system has contributed to public distrust in government institutions.(00:05:15) Chapter 2: Policing and PolarizationKarlan and Sklansky delve into the historical role of policing in fueling political polarization, particularly during the rise of crime as a central political issue in the late 20th century. Sklansky highlights the impact of police abuse on public confidence, the Republican Party's pivot toward tough-on-crime policies, and how bipartisan approaches to policing briefly improved public trust.(00:09:12) Chapter 3: The Rise and Fall of Community PolicingThe discussion focuses on community policing as a promising reform effort that ultimately fell short. Sklansky critiques its limited engagement with younger residents and those affected by police violence. He explains how the movement's failure to address systemic issues, like excessive police violence, eroded its credibility and relevance in modern reform conversations.(00:14:15) Chapter 4: Guns, Policing, and Mental Health CrisesThe discussion explores the connection between America's lax gun laws and police killings, highlighting the role of training and the unique challenges posed by mental health crises. Sklansky addresses the need for better collaboration between police and other services while emphasizing the importance of proper training in de-escalation.(00:19:00) Chapter 5: Small Police Departments and Training ChallengesKarlan and Sklansky examine the implications of having too many decentralized police departments in the U.S. They discuss issues like poor training, rehiring problematic officers, and the proliferation of SWAT teams. Sklansky offers insights on potential reforms and the influence of state and federal coordination in improving policing.(00:21:32) Chapter 6: The Role of Juries in DemocracyKarlan and Sklansky delve into the jury system as a cornerstone of democracy, discussing its impact on civic engagement, cross-sectional representation, and public trust. They highlight the need for systemic changes to improve accessibility, fair cross-section representation, and community participation in jury duty.

Elizabeth Hinton along with several other esteemed academics and scholars recently agreed to serve as advisors for the Vanguard Carceral Journalism Guild. Ten incarcerated writers will be trained and platformed as part of the guild. Hinton is a Professor of History and African American Studies at Yale University and a Professor of Law at Yale Law School. She is the Co-Director of the Institute on Policing, Incarceration, and Public Safety at the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University, and the author of America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960's (2021), and From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America (2016). Hinton talks with Everyday Injustice about the upcoming project and her role in it. As Hinton explains: “the Vanguard Carceral Journalism Guild is something that is completely one of a kind and that it's amplifying original on the ground reporting by people who reside in confinement.” She adds, “I think one of the things that's really exciting about it is that it's not just targeting people on the outside, but it's also seeking to inform and ground conversations and movements, ideas that are happening on the inside. “Because there are intentional barriers erected between people who reside in the carceral state and those of us who live outside of it. It's really hard to get a sense of what is going on. I think most people who aren't connected to people who are incarcerated have no idea the kinds of conditions that are maintained, have no idea the kinds of violence that structures the entire system in every iota and every form. Have no idea the kinds of human rights abuses that are happening and the politics that are happening, as well as the amazing initiatives, the self activity that's going on inside prisons.” Listen as Elizabeth Hinton discusses the importance of carceral journalism and what this project will mean.

Dr. Gee has an honest discussion with author and Minnesota Attorney General Kieth Ellison. Their conversation starts with southern cooking and how food provides insights into our histories and continues into how race relations impact policing. Ellison has written a book about his experience leading the prosecution when the Derek Chauvin case came to trial involving the killing of George Floyd. Hear what he saw when he looked into the eyes of Derek Chauvin. They also discuss Ellison's involvement in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Read Keith Ellison's book: Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence  From 2007 to 2019, Keith Ellison represented Minnesota's 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he championed consumer, worker, environmental, and civil- and human-rights protections for Minnesotans. He served for 12 years on the House Financial Services Committee, where he helped oversee the financial services industry, the housing industry, and Wall Street, among others. Among his legislative accomplishments are passing provisions to protect credit-card holders from abusive practices and protect the rights of renters and tenants. While in Congress, he founded the Congressional Antitrust Caucus and the Congressional Consumer Justice Caucus. He also served as co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which he helped build to more than 100 members. Before being elected to Congress, Attorney General Ellison served four years in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Prior to entering elective office, he spent 16 years as an attorney specializing in civil-rights and defense law, including five years as executive director of the Legal Rights Center. As the leader of this public-interest law firm, he oversaw a team of attorneys focused on delivering justice for Minnesotans who had nowhere else to turn. He was also a noted community activist. alexgee.com Support the Show: patreon.com/blacklikeme Join the Black Like Me Listener Community Facebook Group

Those stories we wish we didn't have to be told, are usually the ones that need to be listened to...On this special episode we dive into 'Her Fight, His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner' which is doing the rounds and Academy Awards eligible.  With the 10th anniversary of Eric Garner's death and no end in sight for this epidemic of police violence it's more important than ever to share Gwen's story. Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, has spent years seeking justice over the death of her son. At home, surrounded by photos of lost loved ones, she draws strength from cherished memories to keep fighting. Filmed over six years, this documentary marks the 10-year anniversary of Eric's death.The film really does look at the idea of understanding the strength that can come out of tragedy and feels more relevant today then it ever has before.We had the pleasure of sitting down with director Brad Bailey to talk about getting the project in motion, the importance of being an 'oral historian' inside the documentary framework in a story like this and so very much more.

In 1980, Charles Wetli---a Miami-based medical examiner and self-proclaimed “cult expert” of Afro-Caribbean religions---identified what he called “excited delirium syndrome.” Soon, medical examiners began using the syndrome regularly to describe the deaths of Black men and women during interactions with police. Police and medical examiners claimed that Black people with so-called excited delirium exhibited superhuman strength induced from narcotics abuse. It was fatal heart failure that killed them, examiners said, not forceful police restraints.  In Excited Delirium: Race, Police Violence, and the Invention of a Disease (Duke University Press, 2024), Aisha M. Beliso-De Jesús examines this fabricated medical diagnosis and its use to justify and erase police violence against Black and Brown communities. Exposing excited delirium syndrome's flawed diagnostic criteria, she outlines its inextricable ties to the criminalization of Afro-Latiné religions. Beliso-De Jesús demonstrates that it is yet a further example of the systemic racism that pervades law enforcement in which the culpability for state violence is shifted from the state onto its victims. In so doing, she furthers understanding of the complex layers of medicalized state-sanctioned violence against people of color in the United States. Aisha M. Beliso-De Jesús is Olden Street Professor of American Studies at Princeton University and author of Electric Santería: Racial and Sexual Assemblages of Transnational Religion. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation.

This week, we're having a herstory moment! Professor and Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Wellesley College Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson joins the show this week to talk Black abolitionists and resistance. We get to know civil rights leader Mabel Williams, spouse and partner of Robert F. Williams, and how she and her husband mobilized Black folks to take up arms and defend themselves in the face of extreme racism in the sixties. We start off with a moment for the cover of Professor Carter Jackson's forthcoming book We Refuse. It features Soldier of Love, not Sade's chart topper, but the beautiful and poignant painting by Brooklyn-based artist Taha Clayton.Disclaimer: While we're happy that gun violence has overall decreased in the United States, it continues to be troubling. We're conscious of how intense gun debates can get and want to stress that this conversation explores how communities took up arms in self-defense against lethal racism. We are not advocating for general gun violence.Remoy introduces Mabel and Robert Williams via their infamous black and white Bonnie and Clyde photo.Prof Carter Jackson breaks down the Williams' approach to self-defense. Robert F. Williams slept with a gun under his pillow to be ready to defend himself for the KKK's night rides: violent runs where Klan member went into Black communities, attacked folks and raided homes.Our guest stresses that though someone likeDr. Martin Luther King preached nonviolence and preferred it, he kept an arsenal of weapons in his home to be ready for self-defense against racist assailants. He'd previously been attacked and firebombed and became ready.The Kissing Case in Monroe, NC is a turning point for the Williamses.In 1958, James Thompson and David Simpson are respectively 9 and 7 years of age. They are playing in the neighborhood when one of the white girls kisses each of them on this cheek. This instance erupts into these young Black boys being accused of rape and arrested. They are beaten and isolated from their parents.Carter Jackson lends context for how terrifying this situation was for these young boys in a warzone-like environment and especially at that age.Remoy shares a few clips from an Oprah WInfrey Show interview in which James Thompson and David Simpson, now adults, recount the horrifying experience.Mabel and Robert make plans to defend their community by mobilizing their community into a rifle club including 60 members of all genders. They became NRA members.Mabel even protected her home from police officers coming into their home without a warrant.Carter Jackson stressed the importance of people knowing the law and arming themselves with that knowledge.Swimming pools were the sight of a lot of child drownings.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel recounting how she and Robert advocated for Black children to use pools safely.While Robert still erred on the side of nonviolent resistance, Mabel was adamant that not using guns for defense was akin to suicide. She even let her sons participate in the resistance, which highlights an important point about how violence and protection aren't as strictly masculine as we sometimes think of them as.Carter Jackson emphasizes Black women's role in community protection. The lack of protection they've historically received has made rise to the occasion of being their own protectors and protectors of the community.[Black women] have never been allowed to occupy the space of the damsel in distress. They've always been seen as undeserving of protection.Mabel knew how the presence of guns was enough to deter potential violence. And she was right. Violence severely deescalated.Carter Jackson stresses the importance of Mabel and Robert's partnership because Robert tends to get all the credit for these efforts.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel describing how she didn't necessarily want the credit but just wanted to do the work.Carter Jackson and Samantha have a moment about the importance of highlighting all the people in the resistance and give credit where it's due. Black women have always been soldiers in the resistance and that should be common knowledge.Racism is not the only thing folks were fighting. Violent sexism must also be challenged and that calls for women's leadership.Carter Jackson brings up Rosa Parks's home being a fortress of guns. Fannie Lou Hammer was also ready to use violent force to defend herself.Black woman in general were aware of how powerful guns were even if they didn't shout it from the rooftops. The gun was enough to make their position known.In our Five Questions segment, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson distills women's anger and they can use it as a driving force. Our guest shares how anger is a big driving force for a lot of her work.She stresses the importance of reparations, not just monetarily, but how do we repair the hurt and destabilization Black communities have endured?Carter Jackson breaks down how she arrived at the title of her forthcoming book, We Refuse.Refusal is the why of resistance.bell hooks has a famous quote about Black men and white women being one stage away from the ultimate social power: white men's power.Samantha asks how Black men and masculine people can champion partnership and women's leadership in the resistance. Carter Jackson delivers a textbook-worthy answer. (48:02)We close out with a great note on how to get to liberation. Dr. Carter Jackson stresses how binaries and individualism pigeon-hole us away from collective freedom. She envisions how to move past that. Thanks for listening!

New Feature: Making Politics Plain W/Busayo Twins + No Further Action W/House Negro Case - S2 EP13 In this week's Black World News, the UK police have said there will be "No Further Action" in Kehinde Andrew's "house negro" non-case made by Calvin Harris in response to Kehinde's "It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut" video calling out Calvin's "house negro" nonsense video on YouTube. Today is also Kehinde's late wife, Dr Nicole Andrew's birthday. Nicole passed away from triple negative breast cancer two years ago, a cancer that disproportionately kills Black women (three times more likely). Nicole's PhD (with no corrections!) was looking at how to make public health images of overweight and obesity with Black women, working with the Birmingham City Council and Lewisham. In honor of her birthday, on the Make it Plain YouTube channel we're resharing some content of Nicole, including a talk "Sistas in the Struggle: The Radical Feminism of the Black Panther Party" recorded during an International Women's Day. -This week, Kehinde Andrews is joined by official guest Busayo Twins for a new and potentially regular feature where they discuss Black issues of the day. This week they chop it up about the interesting intersections of gender (social activism as more of a Black woman's than Black man's duty), diaspora nationalism (being Black and identification with UK/US eg Black British and ADOS + FBA), the younger generation (their political engagement), "Black mixed race" identity (being the Black Mixed face of liberation campaigns), religion (Christianity and Israel-Palestine), class (uncoupling ourselves from capitalism), the need for community education today (an online resource bank) and of course Blackness (#BlacknessIsTheIntersection).  They may make this a regular feature so follow + subscribe to stay locked in for future episodes. - Busayo Twins is a thought leader doing political content online, including her show "Everything is Political" (get us all to realize that there is politics in most things we talk about or engage in) and Political Intrusive Thoughts. Busyao has been involved in the London School of Economics (LSE) Students' Union as both president and general secretary (social mobility and outreach stuff), president of the African and Caribbean society at LSE, a strategic policy advisor at the Office for Students (working on closing attainment gaps), and community policy and strategy (at Black Curriculum), and most recently as strategic business development manager at ClearView Research (creating inclusive research).  - Black World News Links Sistas in the Struggle: The Radical Feminism of the Black Panther Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rqScY7asQc Writing through the C-word: things I know for sure by Nicole Andrews https://make-it-plain.org/2023/03/21/writing-through-the-c-word-things-i-know-for-sure/ Calling a spade a spade: my police statement on naming the House Negroes by Kehinde Andrewshttps://make-it-plain.org/2024/09/23/calling-a-spade-a-spade-my-police-statement-on-naming-the-house-negroes/ It's not a crime to call a Coconut a Coconut by Kehinde Andrews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZkD-e-b6Iw&t=850s - Official Guest Links Calling a spade a spade: my police statement on naming the House Negroes (IG) @busayotwins (TikTok) @busayotwins Busayo Twins' “Everything is Political” trailer on Instahttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Cyh-KQeICIz/?hl=en Busayo Twins “Everything is Political” 21+?

 Today, Hunter is joined by professor Samantha Simon, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Arizona. This episode is a deep dive into Professor Simon's book, Before the Badge: How the Academy Training Shapes Police Violence. In it, Professor Simon embed herself into various police academy training programs to try and understand how police academies select, train, and prepare the next generation of police officers.

The concept of “excited delirium” has been used to justify extreme force from law enforcement and to cover up police violence. Coined by a medical examiner in Florida in the ‘80s, it has its roots in eugenics. Abdul reflects on the way that pseudoscience has too often been used by the medical establishment to justify racist maltreatment. Then he interviews Prof. Aisha Beliso-De Jésus, an anthropologist and author of a new book about the history and consequences of “Excited Delirium.” This show would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.

CONTENT WARNING: Recent Sonya Lynaye Wilburn-Massey Police Murder + Racially Motivated Murder of Anthony Walker. - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain three news items. Firstly the recent unlawful murder of Sonya Massey by the police for no reason; and the need to center Black women killed by the police too (#SAYHERNAME). Secondly, he makes plain that Jamaica (and the Caribbean) is a prison colony. Third, he makes plain that probable presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not the solution to our problems; she's a Black face in a high place (#WhiteHouseNegro). She has no program, no solution, and will not do anything for Black people because the US president by design can't do anything for Black people.  - In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dominque Walker, an ex-police officer, about Dominque's far-reaching abolitionist and antiracist work, particularly with the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation. Her work in academic spaces as a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and with The Goddess Project, a Black women's group. They talk about Dominque's experiences of racism and sense of safety living and growing up in Liverpool in White-majority and Black & Brown-majority areas.  In 2005, when Dominque was 19, her brother Anthony Walker, 18, from Huyton, Liverpool, was brutally murdered by two White males Paul Taylor and Michael Barton on July 30, 2005. It was a racially motivated axe attack as Anthony walked with his cousin and his White girlfriend across McGoldrick Park in Huyton (a predominantly White area), Liverpool. In response, they, including her mum, Dr Gee Walker, founded the Anthony Walker Foundation to tackle racism, hate crime, and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, providing victim support services, and promoting equity and inclusion for all. They discuss the aftermath and the journey toward justice, which ultimately goes on until the offenders die and the trauma.  - Dominique Walker is a mum from Liverpool born and raised; chair of the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation (20 years in inception); co-founder of the Goddess Project a project that celebrates and centers Black women in Liverpool (with about 100 women involved); lecturer in Criminology and Policing Studies at the School of Justice at Liverpool John Moores University; and a PhD student (dissertation: Abolish Hate Crime Policing). For 11 years she was a hate crime and domestic violence detective with the Merseyside Police Protecting Vulnerable People Sigma Hate Crime Investigations unit. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Black women-led stream gets 90K viewers, raises $1.5M US for Kamala Harris in a few hourshttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/kamala-harris-black-women-zoom-1.7273791 Everything we know about the Sonya Massey shootinghttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sonia-massey-police-shooting-mental-illness-b2585416.html - #SayHerName Black Women's Stories of Police Violence and Public Silence by Kimberlé Crenshaw and African American Policy Forum, Foreword by Janelle Monáehttps://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1632-sayhername#:~:text=%22Reading%20%23SayHerName%20is%20an%20act,%2C%20a%20family%2C%20a%20community. #SAYHERNAME | AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM | BLACK WOMEN ARE KILLED BY POLICE TOO   https://www.aapf.org/sayhername International Slavery Museum https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/international-slavery-museum - GUEST + BUF LINKS Anthony Walker: A life that left a legacy https://archive.voice-online.co.uk/article/anthony-walker-life-left-legacy Anthony Walker Foundation Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/awf19872005 Anthony Walker Foundation https://anthonywalkerfoundation.com/ The Goddess Projects  https://www.facebook.com/thegoddessprojects1 Dominique Walker - Staff Profile - Liverpool John Moores UniversitySchool of Justice Studies Faculty of Arts Professional and Social Studies https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/staff-profiles/faculty-of-arts-professional-and-social-studies/school-of-justice-studies/dominique-walker - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

As promised four years ago, President Biden passed the torch to Vice President Harris. We officially have a new Democratic candidate for president! This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum digest yet another HISTORIC week of news and its implications for the presidential race.   Should Harris debate Trump, even if it's on Fox? How will Democrats campaign strategy change and who should be her VP? Are voters ready to elect a Black woman president?? All that and more…   We say her name and honor the memory of Sonya Massey.  We were all horrified to hear about and witness yet another brutal killing of an unarmed Black woman at the hands of the police– in her own home after she had called 9-1-1 for help! There could not be a clearer reason for why officers should NOT have immunity.    And of course we'll hear from you, our #NLPFam. If you'd like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   We are 103 days away from the election.

A new documentary, released by Ava DuVernay's ARRAY ahead of the 4th anniversary of the police murder of George Floyd, highlights how Black mothers cope with the most unimaginable loss of their lives. 

Welcome home!    On this MiniPod hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye take us to Tulsa, Oklahoma. On Tuesday, lawyers for the two remaining survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre appealed to the state's Supreme Court to allow a reparations case to move forward. The two survivors, Mother Randle and Mother Fletscher, would like their day in court, and a chance to seek justice for the horrific crimes committed against them and their community– with involvement from Tulsa authorities, by the way.
