Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined on the line by Shannon Talbert - Deputy Senior Political Director for Color of Change - the largest online racial justice organisation in the United States.

Shannon spoke on how Color of Change responded, developed and got organised during COVID-19 and their rapid response to the death's Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Shannon unpacks how Coronavirus is impacting on black lives, particularly people incarcerated, holding the media accountable and the fighting for economic justice.

She discussed policing in black communities, organising to elect ‘champion prosecutors’ in November, and the long term systemic changes you can make through organising and celebrating black joy!

Today's episode was produced by Pam Kiriakidis.
