Congressman and civil rights icon, Representative John Lewis charged us all to "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." It is clear that there is a significant need for all of us to take up his call given the widespread and flagrant disregard for Black lives (e.g. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many more). This week Jessica and Fiona discuss how BLM protesters are marching to redeem America's soul and the federal response in Portland.
