    Episode 7: Ball Of Confusion

    Listen, there’s beef in these Bridgeport political streets and it’s enough to make your head spin. Why? Because the people fighting each other are all on the same team and have worked together to rig the system for the establishment for years. In Episode 7, we do our very best to break it down for y'all. Starting with an update on the election fraud cases, we examine how the people involved are all connected AND what all these beefs have to do with the race for City Council President.

In Episode 5, we are sharing publicly our journey navigating the racial dynamics in our relationship, in the founding of Bridgeport Generation Now, and of how we developed into committed practitioners of anti-racism.
