In addition, a new survey suggests that video calls cause anxiety and fatigue. Keith chats with Sylvia Johnson, head of methodology at Preply, about the survey and how we can ease the anxiety around video calls.

What is voting without organizing? If you vote without demanding action from your elected officials - regardless of who wins - then what is the point of being a citizen of a democratic society?Movements like Stop Cop City have taught us the importance of using our voices, our feet, our bodies, even when - no, especially when - our elected officials ignore us. That doesn't always inspire a desire to anticipate upcoming elections and cast our ballots. But that's why it's January 5th and we're already talking about the congressional midterms. Our votes are one more tool in our arsenal, and this year we're building on the momentum of years past.The triumph of our voices - one way or another - is inevitable.

We're back on the airwaves on WRFG Atlanta 89.3 with a rebroadcast of a previous episode, “Georgia's police brutality problem,” featuring Sylvia, Aja, and Jess. While we continue to roll up our sleeves to work on new stories and some important (and exciting!) structural changes behind the scenes, we are airing a few episodes we feel deserve more airtime, recognition, and consideration.For each rebroadcast, we are joined by Mainline reporter and researcher Sylvia Johnson with a new introduction reformatted for present day. You can find the original episodes on The Mainline Podcast, streaming wherever you get your podcasts.Today's episode originally aired in March 2021—and things have really changed since then. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is no longer running for re-election, and Felicia Moore is no longer the only contender for the mayor's office. Georgia's voter suppression bill SB 202, originally introduced as HB 531, had not yet passed, and Rep. Park Cannon hadn't been violently arrested for attempting to view Gov. Brian Kemp's signing of the bill. The COVID vaccine was just becoming widely available and many of us were waiting for more arrests of the J6 insurrectionists.As Sylvia says in today's introduction, “It all seems so long ago, but much of the conversation you're about to hear is still relevant today.” This episode touches on the importance of direct action and mutual aid, plus the media and objectivity, focusing on an article & database Sylvia created documenting police shootings and grand juries in Georgia.We will return with new episodes on Oct. 22—and some other updates from our newsroom in the meantime. Stay tuned, get free.

This week, Aja and Sylvia get in the weeds about local media coverage's role in how the general public views policing, specifically considering coverage from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution—the city's largest local news source owned by Cox Enterprises, whose CEO & President Alex Taylor is serving as chairman of the new police training facility known as "Cop City".In this episode, Aja delivers a rundown and explainer of status quo journalism, the construct of objectivity, and other industry norms that are harmful to Black and brown communities. Sylvia adds her extensive knowledge of research and data specifically pertaining to the Atlanta police department and police violence in the city. Together, this helps us better grapple with understanding why vast swaths of Atlantans are still unaware of the city's plans to develop the facility, why public perception of police is skewed away from reality, and how media systems are built to uphold our nation's existing power structures rather than challenge and dismantle them.INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThis episode was recorded on both the unceded ancestral lands of the Muscogee Creek Tribe on so-called Atlanta, Ga., and those of the Duwamish Tribe on so-called Seattle, Wash.ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:"Atlanta police shootings, 2018-present: a database" (last updated on Aug. 11, 2021) by Sylvia Johnson: https://www.mainlinezine.com/atlanta-police-shootings-2018-present-a-database/"Atlanta City Council passes ground lease for training facility, public dissent continues" by Aja Arnold: https://www.mainlinezine.com/atlanta-city-council-passes-police-training-facility-legislation/"Atlanta protesters arrested while City Council passes lease agreement with police foundation" by Aja Arnold: https://www.mainlinezine.com/atlanta-protesters-arrested-council-passes-lease-police-foundation/"The Atlanta police murder of Sam Parker" by Nolan Huber-Rhoades: https://www.mainlinezine.com/ep-44-the-atlanta-police-murder-of-sam-parker/"The Cop Who Quit Instead of Helping to Gentrify Atlanta," Mother Jones: https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/09/the-cop-who-quit-instead-of-helping-to-gentrify-atlanta/The View from Somewhere podcast created by Lewis Raven Wallace: https://www.lewispants.com/To support our work, become a sustaining member at https://patreon.com/mainlinezineOr consider making a one-time donation at https://mainlinezine.com/donate

On Thursday night, local news sources reported that Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced she would not be seeking re-election for a second term as Atlanta's 60th mayor. Those reports were confirmed with Bottoms' letter to the city and her press conference on Fri., May 7. Since the news broke, local pundits, politicos, and organizers have been spinning their wheels projecting what the future might hold in Atlanta's municipal races.One thing we know for sure: we're going to have an insanely busy summer as things begin to take form, twist, turn, and then form again between now and November 2. There's a lot on the line — including the fate of the city jail and the future of Atlanta policing — and there's going to be a lot of players. Buckle up, Atlanta. Here's our first rundown with Aja Arnold, Mainline contributor and researcher Sylvia Johnson, and fellow independent ATL journalist King Williams.

Originally published on "Mainline Presents: To the Left" podcast series.A postmortem of 2020 with founding editor Aja Arnold and contributors Jess Izard and Sylvia Johnson. This year has been a long road revealing the effects of systems that fail to continuously center marginalized voices in regards to issues that affect them most. As we enter the next phase and the possibility of transformative justice, what do media reparations look like? What needs to happen on the ground level in our communities to affect change?If we aren't centering Black, Indigenous, women, queer, and trans voices in our movements and media systems, no collective action towards justice and reparations will be successful. This episode is the beginning of many conversations we need to have as we recap what mainstream media missed when covering police brutality, racial inequality, Atlanta communities, and the coronavirus pandemic.

This episode is part of our new series, "Mainline presents: To the Left." Be sure to follow and subscribe today!Mainline contributor and author Sylvia Johnson joins Aja this week to dive into why we should really care more about gentrification. Besides the obvious problems gentrification brings — increasingly expensive rents and mortgages, higher eviction rates, displacement of lower-income communities of color, and so on — there are deep relations between gentrification, police brutality, and climate/environmental justice that are too often circumvented in the media. Using Atlanta's history and current development stories as a prime example, Sylvia and Aja expand the conversation to where it needs to go: to include and center the two biggest existential threats to Black and Indigenous communities.

Born and raised in a fishing village on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico, Tamara grew up in the water and experienced nature since a very young age and has been in the water all my life! Tamara started teaching diving in 2014, became aware that most divers, including guides and instructors, didn't know much about the ocean and its inhabitants and there was a huge lack in connecting people to the environment they visit when diving, so I went on to found my first scuba business MANATUS, a dive school based on using scuba to teach environmental science and conservation. She became interested in plastic pollution a few years back after a tragic visit to the reef where a massive arrival of plastic happened. That was the start of her journey into documentary film, without knowing it, That's where I met Sylvia Johnson and were we first talked about the Mermaids project.
