LA Protests in Context and Organizing People, Power, and Progress

Hosted by veteran political strategist Adrianne Shropshire, The Black Pack is your weekly deep-dive into the forces shaping Black America — from the ballot box to the boardroom, the courtroom to the culture. We break down the data, dissect the rhetoric, and spotlight the movements that don't wait for November to make history. On The Black Pack, we're navigating power, policy, and politics year-round.  What's really driving voter engagement — or disengagement — in Black communities? How are local elections, judicial races, and the battle for Congress reshaping our collective future? Who's building power outside the two-party system? And how are culture, media, and identity influencing political strategy — and vice versa? Every Friday from 4–6 pm PT, tune in for sharp analysis, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of context you won't get anywhere else. Whether you're a seasoned organizer, a curious voter, or just trying to make sense of the world, The Black Pack is your compass. Black politics doesn't pause. And neither do we.
