- 021823 Race and Wrongful Convictions in the U.S.(Part 2)
Send us a Text Message.
In the second half of the show, we review some of the points made by a report called Race and Wrongful Convictions in the U.S. 2022 from the law school at the University of Michigan. In reviewing cases where people have been exonerated for crimes they didn’t commit; we look at the disproportionate amount of Black people who are affected by a criminal justice system that purports itself to deem everyone equally under the law to be ‘innocent until PROVEN guilty.’

Send us a Text Message.
In the second half of the show, we finish the story of us getting pulled over and draw some parallels to a significant amount of police interactions with Black and Brown people. We make a case that the system in place benefits White people in society more than everyone else and often comes at the expense of those of us who are non-White.

35 min - 012823 How Do We Reform These Police? (Part 1)
Send us a Text Message.
In the first half of today’s show, we look at some recent instances of police violence and try to identify how ‘reform’ never seems to work. One instance of an officer punching a Black woman in the face at a McDonalds, and another where 5 Black officers needlessly ended the life of a young Black man gives us a framework to ask this critically important question.

34 min - 012123 The Conservative Rebranding of Dr. MLK Jr.
Send us a Text Message.
Today we look back on last week's holiday for Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and cite several examples of conservative hypocrisy. Many on the right use bits and pieces of Dr. King's legacy and quotes to gain clout and give the appearance of brother/sisterhood when, in fact their policies stand in direct contrast to what Dr. King stood for.

About Civic Cipher
From the publisher's feed
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show created to foster allyship for social justice. Hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward, this show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to…
engage directly with diverse populations across the country.

Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
