This episode dives deep into the controversial federal voucher program that's putting public education at risk across the nation. Beatriz Beckford, national director at MomsRising, breaks down how this scheme—born from segregationist policies—would funnel taxpayer dollars to private schools while leaving public institutions starved for resources. With 90% of American children attending public schools, the stakes couldn't be higher. The discussion covers the historical roots of voucher programs, their devastating effects in states like Arizona and Florida, and why New York Governor Kathy Hochul's consideration of opting in has parents and educators alarmed. Plus, practical steps listeners can take to advocate for keeping public funds where they belong. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Lurie Daniel Favors sits down with civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons for an unflinching conversation about America's so-called 'third founding.' They dissect how the Constitution was written by and for wealthy white men, examine the relentless violence Black communities have endured for 400 years, and question whether true safety is achievable here. From voter suppression in Texas and Florida to the economic devastation under Trump's policies, they connect historical patterns to present-day threats. The discussion tackles tough questions: Should Black Americans consider mass migration? Can we build sustainable communities without infrastructure? And what does it mean that our success consistently invites destruction? This is the conversation many avoid but desperately need. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Assata Richards breaks down the gap between recognizing problems and actually solving them. She explains how professionalization stripped Black communities of practical problem-solving skills and why we've been taught to overvalue wealth while undervaluing labor. The discussion covers everything from the hope gap in reparations work to why children and elders are essential for building self-belief. Dr. Richards offers concrete practices like daily gratitude exercises and emphasizes that our ancestors solved impossible problems—so can we. It's a conversation about reclaiming our power through action, not just analysis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
