Reality Shows Are Normalizing Police Brutality and Color of Change is About to Pull the Plug, with Arisha Hatch, VP & Chief of Campaigns

from Make It Plain MIP with Rev. Mark Thompson · host Make It Plain MIP with Rev. Mark Thompson

If you're looking to support an organization that is doing the literal work to dismantle systemic racism, then look no further than Color of Change. Their team goes straight to the sources that are contributing to and supporting white supremacy--like the time they successfully pressured Mastercard to stop processing funds for hate groups and white supremacist organizations. Arisha Hatch is the Vice President and Chief of Campaigns and she joins today's episode to tell us about what they've got their sights set on next: cop reality shows that glorify and romanticize police brutality and racism. They're looking to get the show "Cops" off the air for good, and in the process, they're shining a light on sketchy relationships between production companies and police departments that let the departments be choosy about what content is shared and sometimes, evidence just happens to go missing. Lastly, this conversation would not be complete without discussing the org's hard work to fix Facebook, which is "too big and too powerful to no longer be regulated," says Arisha.
