Today on Sojourner Truth:

In the context of the white supremacist insurrection that took place on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, when the Confederate Flag was paraded around the U.S. Capitol building, and now with the threat of armed insurrectionists attempting to attack 50 state capitols this weekend, we speak with Civil Rights icon Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr. Dr. LaFayette co-founded the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. He was a leader of the Nashville Movement, 1960 and on the Freedom Rides, 1961 and the 1965 Selma Movement. He directed the Alabama Voter Registration Project in 1962, and he was appointed National Program Administrator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and National Coordinator of the 1968 Poor Peoples' campaign by Martin Luther King, Jr. We get his thoughts given the recent developments in the United States.

Also, on the same day that insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol, in Downtown Los Angeles, two people were attacked by a mob of Trump supporters. For our Campaigners for Black Lives series, we speak with Christian Angelo, who was maced and hit in the face by pro-Donald Trump demonstrators in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, as COVID-19 continues its deadly march across the nation, California continues to be hard hit with over 30,000 deaths as a result of the virus. Very much under-reported are the devastating impacts and wider implications of those who are incarcerated. Now, there is an outbreak at a women's prison in California. Our guest is Kelly Savage-Rodriguez, the new Drop Life Without Parole coordinator for the California Coalition for Women Prisoners.

On Tuesday, January 12, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on a measure calling for Donald Trump to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment following the armed and violent insurrection at the US Capitol last week. Democratic lawmakers in the House have introduced a single charge of impeachment " incitement of insurrection " against Trump. The impeachment measure has the backing of over 200 Democratic co-sponsors, according to MSNBC. According to the latest polls, 56 percent of the public support Trump's removal.

Despite their lives being put in danger with the armed insurrection that took place on Wednesday, January 6, House Republicans refused to give unanimous consent to the resolution urging Pence to start the process. Nevertheless, support is growing for Trump to be indicted under federal, state and DC laws for his role in inciting the deadly event. On Monday, January 11, newly-elected Congresswoman Cori Bush filed formal legislation urging the removal of any elected officials involved in inciting last Wednesdays deadly terrorist insurrection. The legislation invokes Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which allows Congress to remove any legislators engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

Also on Monday, January 11, the U.S. Supreme Court formally refused to put on a fast track election challenge filed by Trump and his allies. The top court denied pleas for quick consideration of cases involving the outcome in five states won by Joe Biden: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Our guests are Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Jody David Armour and Marjorie Cohn.
