In episode 2, we talk with Brandi Fisher of the Alliance for Police Accountability, a grassroots, community-based organization in Pittsburgh. Brandi talks about understanding that different communities are served differently by the police, why we have to keep fighting, and why APA has expanded its mission to include both police accountability and mass incarceration.
Then we're joined by Naiymah Sanchez, organizer and transgender advocacy coordinator for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, for our Meet The Staff segment. Naiymah has been hosting community conversations throughout the commonwealth over the last year, and she discusses what she has heard and learned at those events.
We're fighting House Bill 27, the police secrecy bill, which has passed the state House and is now in the state Senate. Call your state senator and tell them to vote "no" on HB 27. More information is available here: https://www.aclupa.org/our-work/legislation/bills/hb-27
