Protests and Police Violence (ft. Jason Bane of Richmond, VA)

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast...Coronavirus is not our first topic today as protests about police violence take over headlines...Colorado Republican lawmakers do the worst thing they could have done...we find our second favorite U.S. Senator, Cory Gardner, in a really bad place...and we talk to another person named Jason Bane.* Producer's note: This episode was recorded on Monday, June 1st. Because current events move so quickly, our discussion on the Black Lives Matter protests in Denver and around the country are slightly outdated. This episode is coming at you later than usual because ProgressNow was focussed on organizing grassroots support for SB20-217: The Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity Act. Please sign our petition and tell your state senator to support this important piece of legislation for police accountability. https://bit.ly/yesonsb217That’s it for this episode!
