Fake Power, the Voting Rights Act, and the Fight for Democracy

In this episode, Carmen and Andrea break down the Voting Rights Act in the simplest possible terms, react to the Supreme Court’s latest blow to voting protections, and talk honestly about racism, fake power, billionaires, and the unraveling of American democracy. This episode is raw, emotional, and grounded in the reality that many people still don’t understand what the Voting Rights Act actually did — or what its dismantling means now.1.
