Today on Sojourner Truth:
On this 2nd anniversary of the death of George Floyd we explore what has and has not changed to address police brutality of black lives, in Minnesota and nationwide. President Biden has just signed an executive order to address police misconduct but does it really have any impact on abusive police actions? We discuss this with our panelists Tristan Taylor, co-founder of the Minnesota-based organization Detroit Will Breath, an integrated, youth-led, militant organization fighting against police brutality and systemic racism in Detroit. Our other panelists joining us for the hour are teacher and Minnesota-based activist Marcia Howard and #BLM member and PhD student and founder of the Tacoma Action collective, Jaleesa Trapp.

And for our Earth Minute today, we receive an update on air pollution.
