Why We Fight: Jim Crow 2.0 has landed
Manage episode 335344813 series 3253767
Sup Party Crashers -
Let's face it: what happened in Georgia this week represents a defining moment in our nation's history. Gov. Brian Kemp signed SB 202 -- a 900 pages omnibus voter suppression bill -- and the dominos will begin to fall in at least 43 other states looking to pass similar bills that will turn the clock back on democracy and racial justice for people of color and people of conscience.
So, we're gonna dig into what it all means in this episode while also waxing poetic on: not-so-great political slogans, Jerry being on the audiobook struggle bus, Queen Stacey Abrams doing her thing in 2022, Beto People and possibly misquoting Danny Ocean.
Most importantly, we are paying homage to KC social justice hero, icon and co-founder of Operation Breakthrough Sr. Corita Bussanmas. May she Rest in Power after fighting the good fight for children and families in Kansas City for over six decades. Sr. Corita is survived by her partner in good trouble - Sr. Berta Sailor and their four adopted children. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
If you are so inclined, memorial contributions can be made to the Sisters Berta and Corita Irrevocable Trust at Operation Breakthrough at P.O. Box 412482; Kansas City, MO 64141
