    Defund Police?

    Recorded June 11th, 2020 What does it mean to defund the police? A lot, from minor tweaks to abolishment. But its not a rash response to recent murders. There is research and precedent to follow. What do we do after the protests subside? It isn't sexy or fun, but the answer is to engage in our local government, like many of the protest leaders do every other day of the year.

    Solidarity and Sensibility

    Recorded June 12th, 2020 As we grapple with the concept of defunding the police, what does it look like to stand in solidarity with black led solutions and tactics? Are we imposing our sensibilities on black people when we critique their messaging and strategy, or are we just being helpful?

    Whiteness at Work

    Companies all across the country are attempting to grapple with the issues raised by the movement for black lives. In this episode we explore diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. We speak with two women who have taken leadership roles in confronting these issues in their careers, as they help us unpack the challenges black and other people of color face in the office and the obstacles white people face in coming to terms with our roles in a work culture that systematically empowers white sensibilities and devalues differing perspectives. Tisha Held is a Principle Auditor with BECU credit union. A long time advocate for women and people of color in the workplace,  she is professional development chair of BECU women's leadership group, and member of Belonging Inclusion Leveraging Differences (BILD) and Black Alliance Coop. Norah Castillo is Manager of HR Analytics with a healthcare firm. Her role naturally coincides with DEI efforts in her company and additionally she serves as a member of her firm's employee -led advisory council. Particularly in the days of protest since the killing of George Floyd, she has found herself as a vocal leader in her workplace confronting issues of whiteness, privilege and racism.

    Is Violence Progress?

    In this episode, Steve reflects on what the past 6 months of tension and violence (like accused multiple murderer Kyle Rittenhouse) mean in the struggle against white supremacy, and asks, Is this progress? Or is this a setback? Its been a very difficult week with the tension and pain surrounding Wisconsin police officer Rusten Shesky's shooting of Jacob Blake, and the subsequent multiple murders of protestors by alleged shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager from Illinois. How do we process everything? Have we finally stopped ignoring the issue of racism and white supremacy?
