What is the “doomloop narrative”? What actually keeps us safe? Who is Sam Singer? Who is behind the narrative that Oakland is going in the “wrong direction” due to progressive policies?

For our second episode of Town Politics, "What We're Up Against - The Conservative Plot," our hosts Pecolia Manigo and Chaney Turner of Oakland Rising Action speak with Jeremy Mack, Executive Director of the Phoenix Project, an organization shedding light on right wing money in politics by “combining research and analysis with advocacy to build power and cohesion in progressive campaigns to win a just and radically redistributive society.”

Tune in to this month’s episode to learn about the dark money in Oakland politics and the corporate funding of right wing politics in the Bay Area leading to the overcriminalization, redevelopment and gentrification of historically Black and brown communities with longtime roots in the Town.
