Hot Topic Bold Talk

Factual Data of Actions Taken in the United States today

Summary Points of the Podcast:

I gave you multiple ways that Trump and MAGA Republicans are attempting to brainwash people in the U.S. and through those efforts our democratic process is being eroded. Specific groups in our country are being minimized and discriminated against. Every day some new discriminatory actions is being taken by them. This podcast gives examples of what is happening to protect voting rights, eradicate poverty, decarcerating Black and Brown people, Dismantling white supremacy, and Fighting back against hate.

Spearheading actions requires us to know about the historical basis of Trump and MAGA Republicans actions, which I include in this podcast, and gave you important information in Podcast 48 through 53 about the misuse of Critical Race Theory. Today, we need to understand the grandfather clause, the Alabama literacy tests and other Jim Crow laws, since similar tactics are being used by them to eliminate groups of citizens from being able to vote. You have a chance to hear about the actions by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to restore full power to the Voting Rights Act.

Finally, you will hear how the SPLC is using their Our Learning for Justice Program to push back against the states mandating censorship in public schools. We need to stop Trump and MAGA Republicans from creating a culture of intimidation for teachers and students across our country.
