A Look Back on 2019 [and 2020] Pt 1: Black Lives Matter Protests/COVID-19/#MeToo

CW: Depression, Mental Illness, Police Violence, Murder, Sexual Assault, Sexual Abuse, Sexual Coercion of Minors


[Episode 85.5 Pt 1] In part 1 of our annual update episode, Arlill talks about the COVID-19 pandemic, the on-going Black Lives Matter protests, and the second wave of #MeToo stories from the summer.

-Sadly, we did not reference Breonna Taylor during this episode but we can't ignore the outrage that's been caused by the grand jury's decision to not charge the 3 officers involved in her death. If you can, please donate to the Bail Project as numerous protesters who will be arrested in today's protests will need their bail paid.
