Bonus Episode: Louisiana's Special Legislative Session on Crime

On this special bonus episode, we are getting straight to the issues in our community as we focus on Louisiana's Special legislative session on crime that the governor has called and all of the problematic and harmful ways it affects Black and brown folks, particularly our youth. We are joined by 3 community leaders leading the charge in different ways, giving their perspectives and also giving us tangible tools to fight for our communities in real time!
