Free and Fair Elections with Lila Zucker

This week, we discuss the horrible domestic terror attacks in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, as well as the inhumane raids by ICE of a community of undocumented workers at a processing plant in Mississippi. There is no doubt that a culture of violence, of White Supremacy, combined with excessively easy access to guns and the availability of weapons of war, all contributed to these atrocities. GOP excuses don't measure up to the data.

I'm also joined by Lila Zucker, who worked on the Georgia Democratic Party's coordinated campaign in Georgia during Stacey Abrams' run for governor. We talk about the voter suppression tactics, the ethical challenges, and the attempts to discourage Americans from exercising their right to vote. We also address the need for people to stay vigilant and get involved and offer ways for regular people to step up and help out now.

The fact is, if we have a truly participatory democracy in which people are engaged and feel heard, there's no way a craven minority of legislators can keep hold of power and push an agenda that favors White Supremacists and puts guns above human lives. Let's Keep it in Perspective!
