"At some point you gotta say what i've been saying which is like when is it supposed to win is helping my by black joy my black liberation and if it's not we got to cut it off like their life is really. It really is too short for us to be sitting here. Exhausting ourselves trying to teach people why racism is wrong. And so with the lacey. Ep there is definitely some movement that happened. I will say the legalism of naacp is what will stop progress from the naacp. I think that the naacp is hesitant to change especially liked progressive inclusive. Change therefore black people but not all black people. I mean you can't really talk about clearness in those spaces. You can't really talk about sexism in those spaces can't even really talk about being an atheist or not being christian in those spaces and so while there is some good that some of these organizations have done. I would say if. I have my choice which i do to be in organizations or not. Do i want to continue to be hated on for just existing. Absolutely not so. I don't think i'm going to be a part of some of those spaces anymore. If i don't have to so while i did amazing work because my ancestors and because you know i got that black magic i would say that there are still some things that i think internally they need to work on it. I can't necessarily saw those. That's not is not something. I had the power to adjust for them. Yeah i mean. I think what you're also volunteering for two organizations like that at the time aside from just the actual time and energy takes is feels like you're going back and forth between aig which seems to be more of a predominantly white space and end up lacey pe- predominantly black space but then them each having their own issues that are isolated from that if that makes any sense absolutely. Yeah so i'm looking at aig. A is dealing with racism as a whole right and anti as a whole. And then i go into this. Nbc piece space and it's like they are also dealing with anti blackness like within our own internalized. Racism that's happening within that community and so it's just showing up because we have all been socialized under the same exact system it shows differently depending on what community ran. But yeah you're dealing with just a different side you're just talking with a different side of the oppression and still oppression you know cut and dry. I don't wanna get on here and bash. Aig i mean. I'll bash my local chapter because they've committed that about the diversity thing. I remember this was years and years ago. i had. I think they want me to do something with the chapter around diversity but they didn't want to give me a director level. They wanted to be like a chair. Level or co chair. Or something. Like that and i was like you know. Diversity affects the chapter at all levels like it affects membership. It affects our student groups. And things like that. Secondly i kind of told him this flat out like we live in atlanta. And i'm not about to be your negro whisperer because you don't wanna talk to black students and black design professionals like i'm not going to be that person you've been around in the city long enough and folks that are affiliated with the chapter here know that like it caters to scattered students art institute of atlanta students. Maybe if you're an art major at georgia tech and georgia state or something like that. Don't go to one of these. spca us learning. And then for you. Sorry for you and i was just because you don't want to talk to the black people that live past highway twenty then he. That's not going to be me. I'm not going to be the translator. Yeah yeah..

"A star is born. You guys may know the new one You probably kind of a big deal lady gaga and bradley cooper. We're obviously going to spoil everything so if you haven't watched and you want to which i would say we recommend At least watching one How's the podcast. Yes you're okay with full spoilers here we go and it is worth noting. We've talked about the nineteen thirty seven A star is born a little bit already in the episode that we just rebroadcast last week in the dorothy parker don powell episode. Because dorothy parker was one of the writers of the original star born. And before we dig into this not to belabor the point of why we're here today i did wanna call one news bit. That just came through not that long ago. That is related to something. We very directly talked about in just hot scoop on a tall blonde and put about ebola. Double thank you for that. It's not quite a hot scoop hot off the presses it came through august twenty fifth will share this temblor. But do you remember how we talked about. How both dorothy and dawn have interesting stories about their bodily remains after they died Only because as i was putting together our rebroadcast. I heard part of that in the audio but i do not remember what it was so brief refresher because i did we listen to the episode in. It was like relearning all these things over again. I had forgotten that. I knew these things. Don powell donated her body to science in then the rest of her body that they did not use for science. That's how you say they was. She was put into a mass grave. And we don't really know her remains are. I have no updates on don. She's bodily speaking gone forever. I think though if we find her. I hope that will be good for her family But i'm at peace with that good. Here's the thing that. I'm now more at peace with dorothy parker. When she died she left her estate to martin. Luther king junior right. He died shortly after she died so all of her possessions. Her estate like the thing she had left. Martin luther king including her bodily remains were given to the n. Double acp where. They sat around in an office because they didn't really know what to do with them. Is my best understanding. There may be more complicated reasons. Why but the bottom line they were. Sort of in purgatory. You might say well. On august twenty fifth. There was a news bit that seems that her bodily remains finally. Come to rest in this article from the baltimore sun. after much wrangling. The end of lacey pe- agreed with parker's relatives to relocate the ashes to new york as the organization moved its headquarters to washington. The ashes were reburied in cemetery. And our friend of the pod. Kevin fitzpatrick president of the dorothy parker society was quoted in this article. He said this is finally her homecoming to her. Beloved new york in her relatives came to the memorial. They read her work. They poured some gin on her grave because she loved gin and in her headstone carved a poem that she wrote. That says lee for her. A red young rose go your way in. Save your pity. she is happy for. She knows that her desk is very pretty. So i just wanted to.

"Seventy the man agreed to go back to work but the remaining two hundred and fifty eight men. All african americans refused to load explosives unless working conditions changed. They were all put in the brig or a ship which served a break. Because they didn't have anything to hold that many people. The men were eventually given a speech by admiral. Carlton right. Who is the commander of the san francisco naval district. He told them the men dying across the pacific. And that while loading munitions was dangerous. Being convicted of mutiny was punishable by death. During a time of war of the two hundred and fifty eight men two hundred eight agreed to return to work there were court marshaled and found guilty of disobeying. An order in were docked. Three months pay almost all of these two hundred. Eight men were reassigned to do menial tasks at various bases around the pacific and were given bad conduct discharges after the war the remaining fifty men however were brought up on charges of mutiny in particular they were charged with quote a deliberate purpose and intent to override superior military authority unquote all fifty of the men known as the portugal. Fifty at this point pleaded not guilty. Their argument was that they didn't try to take over command. Which is what normally happens during a mutiny. They just refuse to work. A few of the fifty were scientists cooks and weren't even supposed to be loading munitions and one had a broken wrist and couldn't physically do it. It also turned out that only a few of the men were actually ordered to work. The rest were just asked if they would work which is a totally different thing. Eventually the court martial delivered their verdict in all fifty men were found guilty of mutiny. The recommended sentence was a reduction in rank fifteen years of hard labor and a dishonorable discharge admiral right reduced.

"Other. Men are african american correct. Sorry bobby ehrenberg is not except for him where there are others on your list and what happens now. List is eternal not an understatement. There are thirty thirty five thousand people in new york state prison. And i wish we would get to a place where we could annually review all thirty five thousand and just say what purpose is served by this person remaining in prison and if we took that approach and really put the burden on the department of corrections or the local prosecutors to explain why they believe it is necessary for someone to remain in prison if we did that. I think we could finally seriously rectifying redress mass incarceration. So what's next. We have about forty pending clemency applications. We're about to file another dozen. Come january work with another ten to fifteen people that i want to emphasize to drop in the bucket. It's a drop in the bucket because again we're talking about thousands and thousands of people who i think from any objective reasonable assessment. No i mean. I say no longer should remain in prison. Frankly for a number of them you have to scratch your head and wonder why they've buying bars in the first place. Rap slogan is if the risk is low. Let them go. Explain steve shoot. You know it's one of the few things that is agreed upon in criminology. Sociology adage that people age out of crime. It's been proven over and over. You can look with if you can look at new york. People who've been released no one has been arrested for anything. I think the better example. Frankly is look at pennsylvania where they were close to five hundred people who were sentenced to life without parole when they were teenagers. Seventeen and under and according to the supreme court mandatory life without parole for young people was unconstitutional. So i think it was four hundred. Sixty nine have been the least over the last several years. I believe the recidivism rate hovers at about one percent so the risk is its even beyond load. There is no risk again. It gets back to the question. What purpose is served by keeping people in prison as they age and frankly the only answer i think anybody can give is for those who are interested in eternal punishment. That's the only purpose. I hope we're better than that. So as we wrap up now again. The for david goldberg. When does he go to the parole board. Well if judy clark's example provides some guidance it will be within the next two three months. I'm hoping it will be expedited as much as possible. David turns seventy seven in. November has been incarcerated for forty years. So obviously this interview can't happen soon. Enough gilbert survive. Cova he did he did indeed. And as you mentioned before i think david's release i mean what could be more appropriate because david devoted so much time and energy with other men inside to develop training programs at out aids prevention for people who are incarcerated it no doubt saved countless lives of people inside and outside so in the midst of a pandemic for david to receive. Clemency just ideal. I wanna thank you so much for being with us. Steve zeidman lawyer for david gilbert and a number of the others who were granted clemency by outgoing governor cuomo hours before he left albany Steve zeidman is with the defenders clinic. Cuny law school and a professor there. This is democracy now democracy. Now dot org. I made me goodman as we end. Today's show on washington d. c. where house lawmakers are set to vote this week on the john lewis voting rights act which restores key provisions of the voting rights. Act that were gutted by the supreme court. The atkin pass the house without bipartisan support. But we'll need ten republican votes in the senate to overcome a filibuster. This comes this. Other voting rights bill. The for the people at is also stalled in the senate and republican controlled state legislatures have introduced literally hundreds of restrictive voting laws. This year. for more we go to washington dc where we're joined by ben jealous president of people for the american way former president to the lacey pe- he's hoping to lead a protest today at the white house demanding president biden call on the senate to eliminate the filibuster as an obstacle to voting rights reforms. Then you along with the legal women voters black voters matter and others are taking this issue right to biden doorstep. And you're planning to be arrested. That is very much possible. There will be civil civil disobedience and this begins what will likely be a series of such protests as we up the pressure on biden to call on the senate to get rid of the filibuster as an obstacle to to q. Protecting the voting rights of people across this country so explain who is opposed to getting rid of the filibuster and what exactly these acts mean for defending voting rights. Why you're willing to put your body on the line today. We have a situation this country where corrupt politicians in states like georgia. Texas have given themselves the power to overturn future votes. If if they don't like the way that the people vote for the next governor of georgia or the next governor of texas or in the next presidential race their state delegates said well. We'll just overturn it. They've given themselves. These corrupt politicians give themselves the power to overturn the people. And so we've got a past the four. The people act to stop this and we've got to stop the and we gotta pass the john. Lewis voting rights restoration act so we can prevent bad laws from becoming laws in the future and the problem. Is that in the senate right now. If you don't have sixty senators then you cannot get something to the floor for. Vote in this country we believe that majorities matter and so it should be in the. Us senate now. President trump remove the filibuster as an obstacle to packing the courts with far right wing. Judges president biden certainly can remove filibuster as an obstacle call on the senate to remove the filibuster as an obstacle to ensure we can save our democracy so earlier this year democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia wrote a piece for the charleston. Gazette mail headlined. Why am voting against the for the people act in it. Mansion wrote quote i believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds var democracy. And for that reason i will vote against the for the people. Act mentioned also wrote quote. Democrats have again proposed eliminating the senate filibuster rule in order to pass the for the people act with only democratic support. They've attempted to demonize the filibuster and conveniently ignore how it's been critical to protecting rights of democrats in the past. Then jealous your response again. There are multiple options on the table and one of them is to just simply change the rules. For the purposes of voting rights reforms. The filibuster was the insulator of jim. Crow it is an accident of legislative. History it's not part of the constitution in any way but it has been a used again and again to stymie civil rights progress. Joe manchin is exactly the reason that we're calling on biden to put pressure on the senate like johnson before him biden has been given a situation where yes yes lead on the economy and he asked him tough decisions about wars overseas any.

Trans governor in california but caitlin jenner spent years telling the alphabet gang to trust donald trump. We saw how that turned out now. She wants us to trust her hard pass. Elise they get the pronouns right so they're upset and and this is where where you see this going. Is these the quality movement really is just another democratic front group. It's very much like the end of lacey pe- these days they don't actually worry about the importance of black lives so much as they worry about. fealty to the democratic party in arguably donald trump was great for the black community in terms of jobs and unemployment and criminal justice reform But the cpi is a solidly democratic organization. They can't actually come out and praise. Donald trump He for the alphabet gang. They had what the the richard grenell. The was the national intelligence and the german ambassador he was gay and can't give him credit They gotta pete. Buttigieg is the first gay member of the cabinet. No actually he wasn't but they can't give donald trump credit for that. Now you've got a kate legiter running and and while they will call him a she. They won't support him because he's not a democrat he he dared delight donald trump. How dare he liked donald trump. But now there's this and this is the other troubling aspect of this. We're seeing some people within the republican community. Bully people hesitant to support. Caitlyn jenner attacking people for being transphobic for not calling him a she. I have a very very bright rule on this. And you'll have to forgive me if it offends you but if god made you a boy. I don't think we can change that.

Russillo check damon. He was charged with third degree murder. He was convicted. He is serving over twelve years in prison and a big part of that case had to do with the fact that muhammed newer reached over his partner. Shot out the window and shot does in russa check damon Without even assessing the scene and figuring out what a child wasn't a woman was a threat he just fired and she was killed in so the court. Thus far has appealed that third degree murder conviction against muhammad. Nor and as a result of that prosecutors in the derek chauvin case are making the decision that if for some reason they cannot seek a get a conviction for second degree murder or second degree manslaughter been third degree murder charges. Give the jury another option one another aspect the asking something that we really reported on before the new york times reporting recently that derek chauvin agreed to plead guilty last spring to third degree murder and served ten years in prison but attorney general william bar rejected the plea deal. Yes and for those of us who live in minnesota we were not aware that plea deal was even offered to derek chauvin until that new york times report happened. Apparently the hennepin county attorney. Mike freeman may bad deal with derek chauvin to try to Quiet things down in the twin cities and get the case over with but of course we've had many concerns with mike freemen's decision making and the fact that he has routinely elec- killer cops off the hook in hennepin county. And could you talk about the city's preparation for the trial of fortification of a downtown minneapolis. And how the community is responding to efforts to limit of protests and demonstrations during the trial. Yes we have had concerns about the city. The county our governor as well as our department of public safety with regard to their excessive Focus on security measures outside of the hennepin county government center they have placed chain link fencing barricades and barbed wire all around the government center. And there's only a small area in which protesters are actually able to gather. Of course this raises a number of concerns about our local government. Our state government infringing upon our first amendment rights to freedom of speech and peaceable assembly. We have publicly laid out those concerns yet in the midst of the excessive for it. A focus on security. We have still continued to protest. We took to the streets on sunday took to the streets yesterday. I anticipate many more additional deaths while another aspect of security has to do with a joint task force a joint coalition of many police departments. That are coming together. And the head of public safety. John harrington spoke about hundreds of officers from surrounding suburban. Police departments being recruited to be a part of that security force that large police force in the event of civil unrest during the pendency of his trial. And you concerned about provocateurs came in police had issued a year ago and arrest warrant for the man known as umbrella man who is filmed smashing windows of an auto parts dearlership a few days after the police killing of floyd investigators saying the man as white supremacists who sought to provoke violence against protesters. Also the first fire. That setting of the fire of the police station also believed to be the white supremacist. Absolutely concerned about provocateurs took his day. We haven't seen umbrella taken into custody and so if there's evidence that he was engaging in the kind of activity that people caught him doing Breaking glass being caught on camera doing so very suspicious. Why isn't he in custody. We also are concerned about what other steps law enforcement may or may not be taking to track down provocateurs ahead of time. The overwhelming majority of protests have been peaceful and this has been for over the last six years since we have been taking to the streets demanding an end to police violence in the state of minnesota. Well that came with. Thank you for spending this time with us. I'm sure we're coming back to you soon. We will see how long this trial goes and what happens and it came a levy armstrong civil rights attorney activists founder of the racial justice network executive director of the way way finder foundation former president of the minneapolis chapter of the lacey. Pe- next up. We go to texas where the republican governor is defying public health experts by ordering texas to fully reopen at one hundred percent and lifting a statewide mask mandate stay with us eight all got victor mall. Go up moses. By roberta flack to get our daily digest. You can go to democracy now dot org and sign up for the latest news stories and alerts. I mean and goodman with gonzales. The center for disease control and prevention said monday fully vaccinated people can safely gathered together in small groups without masks as long as involved is low risk for severe covid nineteen. The new recommendation comes. Texas is set to fully lift. Its couvert lockdown restrictions. Tomorrow for everyone not just those who are vaccinated making it. The largest state to do so at least thirty five states have kept their mask wearing rules in place with various levels of enforcement but texas joins mississippi louisiana and michigan announcing plans to lift restrictions. Meanwhile montana north dakota mississippi of already lifted their mask wearing mandates michigan's eased other lockdown rules florida georgia and south carolina. Never enforced mask mandates. It was on the same day last. Week that cdc director dr ratio will end. Ski said now is not the time to loosen restrictions because of an increase in cova cases and deaths when texas governor greg abbott defy public health experts and issued his executive order to end all covid nineteen restrictions starting march tenth. He tweeted quote. Texas is open. One hundred percent drawing scorn from president biden. Who accused him of quote. Neanderthal thinking abbott fought back by accusing the administration of releasing covert positive illegal immigrants in our state. This comes a cbs news reports over thirty two hundred company. Children were detained at border patrol facilities along the texas mexico border monday alone and nearly half were held for longer than the legal limit of three days throughout texas cities and businesses have vowed to continue their mask mandates for more. We go to houston where we're joined by dr donna murphy. Physician scientists community organizer co founder of doctors and politics. Pack dr murphy's survivor of cove in one thousand nine hundred for months experience ongoing symptoms condition being described as long cove it or long hauler. She's helping to lead a campaign to demand. Texas reinstate the mask mandate dr welcome to democracy. Now it's great to have you with us. Can you respond to what governor abbott has done lifting the mask mandate and texas one hundred percent for business. Sure i think it's really important here to not be distracted. By the fact that this is completely politically motivated. He made this pronouncement on. What is texas independence day and it is a maneuver to conceal failures to modernize our electric grid in texas in the weeks. Prior to this executive order we had doves dozens of deaths across the state from hypothermia from carbon monoxide poisoning from fires from with untold economic impacts. And he also is pandering to this. Misguided completion of the nas mandate with infringement of personal freedom and then within days as you alluded to he rejected an offer for federal aid on covid nineteen testing asylum seekers blaming them for infections in south texas and this is despite the fact that the test positive among those migrants was actually lower than the population at large in cameron county which is the county of entry. So i think it's really important that we not get consumed by the affront to scientific knowledge and our understanding of this virus that how this virus is transmitted. That is not what this is about and got murphy to talk about this. This continuing rift between the major cities of texas houston san antonio paschel and the and the state leaders on the issue of how best to deal with the pandemic that has been super frustrating to witness. Because you know. The political party of our governor is one that is extensively ideologically committed to local control and despite this throughout the pandemic repeatedly the governor has tried to remove local authority in determining what to do with managing the pandemic so a lot of our cities which are democratic. We held cities leadership in those cities have often tried to do what is more consistent with what has been advised by the cdc for instance and the governor has tried to pull back throughout. And can you tell us a little more. Dr murphy on this issue of the border you have him attacking immigrant saying they're bringing in kovin yet at the same time. He rejected money from the federal government to test immigrants. Who are coming in. That's right and it's actually the case that they had been testing by the tens of thousands. I've actually been very involved with work at the border. Throughout the migrant protection protocols in martha motorists also in brownsville remotely. Because i run a program in martha mottos and yeah so. I've been very plugged in actually to the medical care that's been provided and also all of the efforts that have been made by non governmental organizations as well as local government there to an attempt to mitigate the impact of covid among population. So again this is as i said a very politically motivated maneuver. I wanted to ask you if you talk a little bit about your own personal experience With contracting covid nineteen and if could talk somewhat about the vaccine rollouts in in houston that you're aware of because they've been recent reports in the last day or two that of the disney disproportionate of x. Exhibiting of of side effects among women who who received the vaccine compared to men. I'm wondering if you might have some thoughts on that. As well and short semi personal experience with covid i was actually ironically involved in cova education and organizing and advocacy about a month before i myself got sick with covid and then became a kobe. Long hauler where it was grappling with pretty moderate symptoms at some point that we're cognitive and psychiatric so this was not trivial at all. That being said i also was not as disabled as some of my colleagues and others in patient research and advocacy community so it was very. I felt privileged. That i was not disabled but it was still very trying. And there's still a lot of uncertainty about the long term implications of covid. So it's been a very difficult path for me. I mean most most recently this past week i had significant symptoms. That kept me from being able to to write like original material. And i do a lot of writing for my work in the advocacy that i do. Yeah that's been a source of frustration. And as far as the rollout in texas we have less than twenty percent of texans who have been fully vaccinated some counties or grappling with such low rates of vaccination that. They've actually opened up vaccinations to the general public without any restrictions. That tells you something. A lot of those counties actually are in east texas so not too far from me and the greater houston area. Yeah so it has been very problematic as to the disproportionate impact on women. I want to be very careful here. Because it's hard to know until you have some distance to see what the side effects are and whether they actually reflect reality underlying realities and. I don't what i don't want to do is to dissuade anyone from getting the vaccination. I've kept up with a lot of the site of side. Effect profiles for the moderna and now johnson and johnson has recently been released. So we'll see what that looks like that. In general the side effects are mild to moderate. And i will tell you that if the alternative is death and permanent disability which is a very real possibility for up to thirty percent of the population exhibiting long holler symptoms. That is a work aching. Have you been vaccinated and For people who've had covid do you get one or two shots when it's a two shot deal. of course. johnson. Johnson is just one shot. Yea i have not yet been vaccinated. Because i felt that there has been a little bit of pushback on physicians who do not see patients in person which i do not i read. Eeg or brainwave tests for patients from the comfort of my own home and if for as long as we don't have people having access adequate access to the vaccine i felt a little bit uncomfortable putting myself forward as somebody who needs to get vaccinated as a frontline worker and so i've been waiting honestly until it's opened up to the general population. I have thought actually to drive over to east texas where they have opened it up where. I don't think that i would be taking someone's place but yeah i'm sorry the second question i don't i don't remember two shots one or two shots. Yeah so for kobe. Long haulers a lot of people are saying and in some countries globally and. They are suggesting that kobe along. Just get one shot. I don't know that there is a lot of evidence about that yet. I was planning on getting the two shots. If i got a or moderna and then the one of course with john. I wanna ask you about this mexican restaurant in houston that said it's going to keep its mask role in place. So people threatened to call ice on the staff and retaliation. Can you talk about what happened there. It's called peco's and talk about this rising anger and violence In texas over pandemic restrictions and how abbott has fueled this both the anti-science racist xenophobic misinformation around the pandemic again. I think he is deliberately trying to direct our attention to a narrative that is consistent his political thinking which is the cause of these problems is something that can be placed on others right not us but on others and i think that's part of what happened here is that people unfortunately are following his his modeling and and that's why they this. This occurred right that houston is a very diverse and in many ways of very inclusive place. I know peco's actually. I used to go there before. They moved to their current location. And that that somebody was saying that they were going to call ice on the folks. There is a reflection of the the impact that abbott has had on the narrative of who is responsible for the transmission of covid and in many ways i feel like he is directly responsible and then certainly people who were following his. His example are responsible as well. Dr john murphy. We want to thank you for being with us. Physician scientists community organizer co founder of the doctors in politics. Pack and long-haul survivor of covid nineteen. This is democracy now democracy. Now dot org. It's the fiftieth anniversary of one of the more audacious thence that happened in protest and resistance around the The war and it happened in. It happened.

No they were separate schools but they weren't equal schools I don't even want to mention brown versus board of education.

Conscience of the Country: A Tribute to John Lewis
"Congressman John Robert Louis was born in Troy Alabama on February twenty first nineteen, forty, two sharecroppers, Willie Mae, and Eddie Lewis. He is known for telling the story of preaching chickens at the boy from troy as he was nicknamed went on to become revered world leader and fearless advocate for voting rights organizing sit ins in. Nashville in nineteen sixty and becoming one of the original freedom writers Mr Lewis joined the Movement for civil rights and never looked back. As the chairman of snake he served as the youngest speaker at the march on Washington in nineteen, sixty three. In nineteen, sixty, five alongside reverend hosea, Williams Congressman Lewis led a march for voting rights across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma Alabama where he endured violent attacks by state troopers and vigilantes. Mr. Lewis fell to the ground with a fractured skull and five months later, president Lyndon B, Johnson signed the voting rights act of nineteen, sixty five until now. On the other side of that bridge Mr Lewis marched on into a life in career of activism and public service. He lost his first attempt at running for Congress in nineteen seventy seven was appointed the same year by President Jimmy Carter to the Director of action a Federal Agency for volunteerism. He then won a seat on the Atlantic City Council in nineteen eighty one and five years later ran for Congress in one. So much of the conversation about congressman, John. Lewis has been about his activism, but he stood on so many legislative accomplishments including sponsoring or co sponsoring more than eleven hundred bills. One of the most notable bills gave us the National Museum of African American History and culture in two thousand three. He served as a subcommittee chair for oversight for the prestigious ways and means. Committee, and after the retirement of Congressman John Conyers. became the dean of the Congressional. Black Caucus in twenty nineteen, he presided over the House floor as Congress passed hr four. Since his passing the bill was renamed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act which was adopted by unanimous consent. Before being admitted to the hospital, MR? Lewis stood in the heart of Black Lives Matter Plaza. He took his last breath on July seventeenth twenty twenty. But his legacy lives on in all of us. We begin this John Lewis. Tribu. where he also began with civil rights joining me for this very important conversation are Vanita Gupta President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on civil and Human Rights Derek Johnson, president and CEO of the of Lacey Pe-. Reverend, Michael Pfleger the senior pastor of the faith community of Saint. SAVINA. Reverend Dr William J Barbour, the second president of repairs of the breach and Co Chair of the poor people's campaign. An latasha Brown, Co founder and chief doer of black voters matter. A thank you all so much for making time to talk with me today about on. John Lewis. So I want to start with I'm. VANITA. Because of your work at the Department of Justice of course. I believe the year before you got to DOJ. The the case, the decision that gutted the voting rights act shelby versus holder, and so I wanna hear from you on some of the things that you experienced working with Mr Lewis on the other side of that because we know that right after that, all of the advocacy picked up to reinstate section five to get the voting rights on provision where they needed to be in Congress. And so just talk a little bit about some of your work with Mr Lewis on those issues. Shore. Is Truly an honor to be here with my. Warrior colleagues and friends and loved ones in the movement. Especially on today Angela. I think probably all of us were in tears watching Mr Lewis Funeral you know twenty thirteen is you mentioned that United States Supreme Court gutted the heart of the voting rights act in a devastating decision the shelby county versus holder decision. That really took away the longstanding tool of one of the most effective pieces of federal legislation in our nation's history in the voting rights act. That quired states with long histories of racial discrimination in voting to pre clear with the United States Justice Department changes made at the local level for election practices that had racially discriminatory impact. And the removal of that tool within hours of that decision coming down for the United. States. Court states like, North Carolina Texas enacted, Monster? Voter. Laws doing everything from. Putting forth restrictive voting laws cutting back early voting same day registration. And it took years to litigate and to hamlet the Justice Department did working with advocates and activists in all states. Where so years for federal courts in a place like North Carolina finally say that the State legislators North Carolina had enacted there. Monster Voter Suppression Law would such surgical precision to disenfranchise African Americans and meanwhile countless elections had taken place but Mr Lewis of legacy was that in the face of this overwhelmingly bad decision for voting rights he immediately. Went to action, which is always his way was never in a would not allow despair to hold him back inside we need to do everything we can restore it in went to work with legislative partners in the Congressional Black Caucus to put forth a bill immediately to restore it on every prior reauthorization of the voting. Rights. Act angelides always been done under. The Watch of Republican president and at least one house of Congress being Republican the unfortunate thing is after this decision, the really has not been bipartisan support and but Mr Lewis Year after year would stand at the podium introduced the law in say or in it for the long haul I've been there before I almost lost my life fighting for this law. In one, thousand, nine, sixty five, and we will persevere to us and we've got to keep our eye on the prize and we're not gonNA. Let go until the day that the bill becomes law. So in this moment. On where we're seeing a lot of performance morning by Senate Republicans who obstructed day after day everything that he has stood for and fought for with his life. It is time not only for us to restore the voting rights act passed the voting rights advancement act but to do everything else that we can to ensure open voting and go beyond it as President Obama said today won't be enough to rest and return to the status quo. It is time for this country to unregarded into make our democracy work for all of us in Gulf Far Beyon- restoration of the voting rights act in this moment.

How Women of Color Are Shaping Our Democracy
"So I always like to start with everyone introduce do some cells but of course I also had to ask everyone a question along with that. So can you tell everyone your name where you work which you do and what has has been one of your favorite moments from this election cycle so far. I know there's so many to choose from because even though it's only January sorry this thing has been long. But what's one of the things that has been in the forefront of your mind. Hi everyone thanks so much for having me on the show My name is unleashes saying I am the Director of Judiciary Democracy Affairs at planned. Parenthood Action Fund. My main role is to make sure that we are linking and connecting the dots on why reproductive healthcare is so important and why the courts and democracy reform or so crucial for protecting our rights when it comes to reproductive health. Care one of the things I mean. There's so many things that have been I feel like monumental in this cycle but one of them is the fact that there are and have been so many women who were running for presidency and what that really means for communities of color what that means for communities across the board what that means for young people who are looking and seeing people represented on the screen when watching these debates when watching the campaign trail and seeing that reflection and then what that has meant for the conversation as well right. We've seen all the Democratic candidates. Come out in favour and support of reproductive rights in repealing the Hyde amendment all of which I truly truly believe we can pay tribute to the fact that there are so many diverse voices that are pushing each other to be bolder and vocally boulder in their policies. Hey you too often. I'm Richard from Los Angeles. California live here in the area. I'm the national director for the college. Division at the National Association for the events and of color people for now referred to as P and I have to so one of the last night when Elizabeth Warren said or she made the awareness known that all the women have not lost an election but all over to elections. I thought that was pretty. Shed asked I was like I think she's had a lot of iconic moments. Yeah I love the very visible presence and leadership of black woman the campaigns I love the chief of staff from Leon Castro's Camp I love watching Black Women for Warren and love watching black woman for Bernie. I mean this this notion that like there needs to be a special emphasis that is very public and other public for black women. So it doesn't matter you've ever moments in this campaign so far yes I do not like how many debates we're having and how late they are and how they they they are late imile. I'm emily career and I am the one of the national national campaigns directors at the League of Conservation Voters Lcd. We elect environmental champions At all levels of government and hold them accountable in two thousand. Eighteen were One of the top outside spenders in electoral politics spinning over eighty million dollars to help get environmental champions elected on the ballot I actually actually have to favorite moments I would say. The first is the fact that there is an Asian American presidential candidate. That's on the stage. Yes he's a man. It's it's the Asian American that's huge for is for the community. I would say the second. One is similar in terms of a diversity of of staff on these campaigns and the height. How hyped highlighted They are. It's very tough to be a minority as a political and to have that standard and to have that bar and feel like Minorities have an opportunity to work in this business. is huge It's really changing. The face of how campaigns are being put together and who's clean the lovers our next question talking talking about women of Color voters. We know that will be crucial to this election cycle. You can't win without us. That's just how it is and we are one at every four voters in Florida Texas Arizona and Georgia. How have you already seen women of color shape? This election cycle particularly the work that you do. I think this is like like such a crucial moment. And we've really seen this wave of engagement and energy and progress being made when you look at the Reproductive Justice Movement and special shout Out to groups like all above all and others that have really paved the way for reproductive health care and reproductive freedom reproductive justice issues and legislative policies. I mean they are responsible for the fact that we're seeing all these Democratic candidates saying that. They're they want to repeal the Hyde amendment though the push of the conversation and the narrative of in that direction has been particularly helpful with because of the leadership coming from reproductive justice organizations. And I would say I'm just to piggyback on that much planned. Parenthood you know we have seen affiliates as well and we were huge in the Virginia Sweep in November and Virginia affiliate Elliot endorsed sixty two candidates. That were pro-climate. Three of them were women. More than a dozen were women of color so you have folks like delegate Hashmi who who and also folks like Jinro Tucson who won their races Who ran on climate? Who ran on on on environmental issues? Who wants and to really advanced certain issues like climate change in everyday you know I guess highlight it at a level that necessarily may not be through the Lens of of a minority female now and especially in communities where they are Less not less equal. But we're the disadvantaged and have someone that can speak up in the fight everyday. I been away what I'm thinking about what you want said. There's been a wave of. I work with young people. Anybody twenty-five twenty-five younger that's my audience with young black people across the nation. We have over three hundred and thirty nine chapters across the country. I gained thirty two chapters last year alone. We work at twenty three thousand young people across the country and when we see Abrahams running last year and we went to polling places at Spelman and Morehouse in Atlanta in in Georgia Really got there are students got there and stood in line and realize that there were no outlets are there were no plugs of there. Were No Wires for the voting machines and it was young black women at those schools at Spelman who said to the end of the Lacey. Pe- we need to file a lawsuit because this is not how democracy should be working.
