Black Maternal Health Week; YouTuber finds security flaws in Flock cameras; Jazz Artist Kathleen Bertrand collaborates with CAU Jazztet

Black mothers and other women of color continue to face serious health disparities during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Georgia has one of the highest Black maternal mortality rates in the nation. To bring awareness and work towards solutions, Black Mamas Matter Alliance is hosting the 9th annual Black Maternal Health Week. The event runs through April 11–17, and this year’s theme is "Rooted in Joy & Justice." On today’s “Closer Look,” we hear from Angela Aina, the co-founder and executive director of the Black Mamas Matter Alliance. Then, Flock Safety, an Atlanta-based surveillance company, is facing increasing community pushback as it secures contracts with law enforcement agencies across the country. Flock cameras can be found across metro Atlanta – including in Chamblee, where the police department recently opened its Real-Time Crime Center. Among Flock’s loudest critics is Benn Jordan, who worked with technology experts and journalists to expose security vulnerabilities. Plus, Kathleen Bertrand, a celebrated Atlanta jazz vocalist and writer, recently became the focus of study for a group of Clark Atlanta University music students. Alongside her longtime musical director, Phil Davis—who also chairs the university’s music department—Bertrand will be featured in CAU’s Artist Showcase. On this edition of “Closer Look,” listen as they discuss this special event and their love of music. The CAU Jazztet Artist Showcase is free and will take place on April 16 at 7 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Police Chief Michael Dieppa explains how officers and investigators will utilize dozens of cameras throughout the city as a crime solving, crime prevention, and public safety tool, while protecting citizens’ privacy rights. Also, reports have tied Christian nationalists to the January 6th insurrection, attempts to turn over the 2020 election and the aggressive immigration tactics currently taking place in the U.S. Scott speaks with Joy Johnson, the lead organizer for the Georgia group of Christians Against Christian Nationalism.

Low morale among current, former CDC employees after layoffs, firings

It’s been a year since the Trump Administration began mass layoffs at the Atlanta-based agency. Over the past year, about 3,000 workers either left or were laid off from the CDC. Add onto that, policies led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. either eliminated or disrupted the agency’s focus on violence prevention and HIV. Secretary Kennedy also made controversial claims about autism and vaccines, all while the nation experienced outbreaks of the measles. HHS has also paused several lab tests and altered dietary guidelines. On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we welcomed former CDC workers back to the program to discuss policy changes and how the laid off workers have coped over the past year.
