Alicia Garza is joined this week by writer and community organizer, Kelly Hayes, who’s also the host of Truthout’s podcast, Movement Memos. Garza and Hayes discuss the rebellion in wake of the murder of George Floyd, the current administration's moves towards fascism, and what we can do to fight for democracy. Plus, Garza’s weekly roundup of all things great and awful known as Lady Don’t Take No!

We promised to share some information about what you can do to help -- we'll keep posting resources in our social media for organizations to support!

Here's our first list -- from organizers in Minneapolis. Check out @BlackVisionsCollective and Reclaim The Block!

She shares her thoughts on the women transforming power in Marie Claire magazine every month.

People do.
