Today on Sojourner Truth:
Despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling temporarily baring Donald Trump from adding a citizenship question to the U.S. Census, Trump's Attorney General William Barr has announced that the administration has found a way around the Supreme Court decision. What's behind this move? Who will be impacted? What are the wider implications? We speak with Marjorie Cohn, professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where she taught for 25 years. She is also the former president of the National Lawyers Guild.
And, across the U.S. and Canada, pipeline protesters are being criminalized. Who is behind this? Who has being charged? What are the impacts on Indigenous lands and on the environment as a whole? Our guest is Dallas Goldtooth, the Keep It In The Ground Organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network.
Also, one of the largest blocs of people of African descent in the Western hemisphere is in the Caribbean region. Together, they comprise a large and influential bloc in the Americas. The heads of state of CARICOM met in the island nation of St. Lucia from July 3-5. What came out of that meeting that has implications for U.S. foreign policy on Venezuela and Haiti? We speak with David Comissiong, Barbados's Ambassador to CARICOM.
