Salimah and Ateira are joined by Kimberly Humphrey, Esq., ACLU of Maryland legislative counsel, who shares her wealth of knowledge about advocacy, allyship, and education funding. Tune in to hear a passionate discussion about the racist media portrayals of “riots” versus “protests,” a word of advice for non-Black allies, and an “is this real life” moment you won’t soon forget.
Note: This episode includes information about school funding in Maryland and recommendations from the Kirwan Commission. Since the episode was recorded, the Commission has delayed consideration of a new education funding formula. For more information and the ACLU of Maryland’s take on this issue, please refer to this article, to which Kimberly Humphrey contributed her expertise: https://www.aclu-md.org/en/news/increasing-education-funding-not-luxury.
