Act Out! [71] - A Former Brutal Cop & a Young Black Visionary in the Fight for Justice

Act Out! [71] - A Former Brutal Cop & a Young Black Visionary in the Fight for Justice
Wed, 7/13/2016 - by Eleanor Goldfield

This week, a special extended episode featuring voices from what one might think are opposite sides of the front lines: a young black woman and a retired police captain. In fact, these two may have run into each other in the city of brotherly love long before they had the fight for justice in common.

First we'll hear from the creative activist, community builder and social justice advocate YahNe Ndgo about police brutality, systemic racism and movements for change. Then we'll give you a short preview of next week's special with retired police captain Ray Lewis, a man who has marched across the police brutality spectrum to stand against injustice from Wall Street to Ferguson. Finally, a quick shout-out to climate justice fighters as they march against pipelines and for people and planet. From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out!

Whether Republicans want to be the party of Christianity or the party of worshipping false idols is a question they’ll have to seriously reckon with very soon, unless they want the American electorate to speak for them.

“Storytelling teaches not through instruction, but through imagination and example,” says the Sami artist Máret Ánne Sara. “These stories don’t provide direct answers, but rather the ethical tools to navigate and sustain the world.”

Republicans’ fate in the 2026 midterms is likely sealed. But they could be out of power for multiple subsequent election cycles if Democrats are smart.

In November, Indigenous protests in London included the launch of “Bringing It All Back Home,” confronting corporate power head-on.
