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!

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.

From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
