This episode dives deep into the controversial federal voucher program that's putting public education at risk across the nation. Beatriz Beckford, national director at MomsRising, breaks down how this scheme—born from segregationist policies—would funnel taxpayer dollars to private schools while leaving public institutions starved for resources. With 90% of American children attending public schools, the stakes couldn't be higher. The discussion covers the historical roots of voucher programs, their devastating effects in states like Arizona and Florida, and why New York Governor Kathy Hochul's consideration of opting in has parents and educators alarmed. Plus, practical steps listeners can take to advocate for keeping public funds where they belong. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lurie Daniel Favors sits down with civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons for an unflinching conversation about America's so-called 'third founding.' They dissect how the Constitution was written by and for wealthy white men, examine the relentless violence Black communities have endured for 400 years, and question whether true safety is achievable here. From voter suppression in Texas and Florida to the economic devastation under Trump's policies, they connect historical patterns to present-day threats. The discussion tackles tough questions: Should Black Americans consider mass migration? Can we build sustainable communities without infrastructure? And what does it mean that our success consistently invites destruction? This is the conversation many avoid but desperately need. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Imani Gandy, executive producer of legal content at Rewire News Group and host of 'Boom! Lawyered,' breaks down a troubling paradox: America's most educated progressive public is witnessing a fascist takeover in real time. Lurie & Imani break down that without serious Supreme Court reform—potentially expanding to 25-30 justices—no progressive legislation will survive. She also critiques centrist Democrats for their reluctance to embrace transformative change, urging listeners to demand racial quotas, a new reconstruction, and justice that feels like accountability. This conversation doesn't shy away from discomfort; it leans into it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode features an enlightening conversation with Dr. Assata Richards about the rich history of African American cooperative economics. Drawing from Jessica Gordon Nembhard's groundbreaking book 'Collective Courage,' they explore how black communities have always practiced mutual aid and helpfulness, from plantation times to present day. The discussion covers everything from buying clubs to housing co-ops, examining how cooperative structures differ from traditional capitalism and why spiritual alignment matters in economic work. They also tackle class dynamics within co-ops, the importance of study circles over book clubs, and how exhaustion from pursuing others' dreams differs from exhaustion in service of your own mission. Plus, reactions to recent political theater and what it all means for community organizing. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lurie breaks down an uncomfortable question: Are Black people, through generosity rooted in survival skills from enslavement, helping to create future 'Karens'? Starting with a viral incident where a white toddler received cake from a Black family's private birthday celebration, Lurie examines how centering whiteness may perpetuate entitlement. The conversation evolves into a broader analysis of what she calls the 'n-wordification of America'—how systems of oppression historically used against Black communities (healthcare deserts, educational defunding, police violence, surveillance, land theft) are now being applied to white Americans.
