#76: The One-Year Anniversary of Charlottesville: Where Do We Go from Here?

Washington Indivisible Podcast

In observance of the one-year anniversary of the deadly violence in Charlottesville, we're joined by three leaders in Washington State who are heading the fight against hate and racism: Makeda Hope Critchlow, board member of Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County; Aneelah Afzali, founder and executive director of the American Muslim Empowerment Network with the Muslim Association of Puget Sound; and Miri Cypers, regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, Pacific Northwest. The three discuss how we should respond when hate groups gather and demonstrate, how we can push back against a president who actively fosters hate, and about how we can each address and mitigate the institutional racism that pervades American culture. We also have our weekly calls to action with Indivisible Washington's 8th District research team member, Jim Austin.
