This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum define our democracy (what’s left of it).
Nowadays it’s popular to say that the USA is a “democracy in decline.” But what does that actually mean when for many of us the system has been failing! Our hosts identify specific areas where our democracy has crumbled and begin to answer the question: exactly HOW and WHY has our democracy failed? This will be an ongoing conversation, and we’d love your input, send us a video!
Speaking of ongoing conversations, we hear your pushback to this idea that we ought to stand in solidarity with migrants. In a video we received, one of y’all was also questioning the idea that there could ever be self-sufficient communities for Black and Brown folks. We’ll play that video so the hosts can respond to your criticism. We love being in conversation with y’all, even when we disagree!
We invite you to think radically, consult your local communities, and imagine how our democracy can be salvaged–or completely reconstructed??
If you’d like to submit a question or statement, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.
Check out the research paper Angela mentioned on the Trump admin’s immigration policies and their impact on Black migrants: https://baji.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BAJI-First-100-Days-2025.pdf
