In this episode, Josie has her first guests! Josie and sisters Krystal and Kasayah discuss black empowerment in terms of supporting black businesses and practicing group economics, different ways to protest, the importance of voting, police reform, etc. [Recorded Tuesday 6/9/20]
Just like we mentioned, there are many ways to protest. My college advisor sent me this article, detailing some of the roles you could occupy during the revolution: https://medium.com/@dviyer/mapping-our-social-change-roles-in-times-of-crisis-8bbe71a8ab01 . Watch this video of black artists and creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM&t=50s . Watching the video in full--not skipping ads--is a way to contribute because 100% of the revenue they earn from the ads will be donated to social organizations that are fighting for justice and equality.
