BONUS: Get Your Booty to the Poll PSA Campaign w/ Filmmakers Angela Barnes and Paul Fox

from Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael · host J.G.

On this bonus edition of Parallax Views we take a break from our Halloween series to chat about getting out the vote w/ filmmakers Angela Barnes (formerly Angela Gomes) and Paul Fox. In case your unfamiliar, Angela and Paul are the creators of the "Get Your Booty to Poll" Public Service Announcement that employed pole dancers and strippers to explain the importance of voting, specifically in local elections, in Atlanta. Targeted towards Atlanta's potential black male voters, "Get Your Booty to the Poll" has generated much controversy. Some argue that it perpetuates negative stereotypes of black men and women. Others argue it is pro-sex worker and only being attacked on grounds of "respectability politics". Angela and Paul join us, in light of the second "Get Your Booty to Poll" PSA (which addresses some of the 1st PSA's critics) being released), to discuss why they did it, what they hope it achieves, and thoughts on the debate and discussion it has generated. This Episode Brought to You By: The War State: The Cold War Origins of the Military-Industrial Complex and the Power Elite, 1945-1963 by Michael Swanson of The Wall Street Window
