UNBOUGHT POWER HOUR | Season 1 Episode 5 with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

POWER can be achieved without sacrificing our principles: we need to consistently place people over profit and reject toxic preservation of the status quo. UNBOUGHT POWER works to train and build people power, advocate for community issues through legislative power, and elect those who share values, into power -- via the only way that will lead to collective liberation, equality, and freedom for all: UNBOUGHT. 

In 1969 Shirley Chisholm made history by becoming the first Black woman elected to Congress. She was a leader who had the audacity to fight for equality and demanded respect for the Black community and for women. Chisholm was successful and impactful because she was unshakably, “unbought and unbossed.” 

As a person of conscience, Rasha understands that it’s dangerous and counterproductive to sacrifice the rights of some as “exceptions”' to the human rights of all.  She is inspired by Shirley Chisolhm’s call to be “unbossed and unbought”. Rasha is compelled to contribute to the legacies and work of Chisholm and so many Black and Brown women--then and now. Like them, she understands that the electoral process, alone, won't liberate us and believes that power is attainable without forfeiting our values.
