    Under the Mask Episode 3: COVID in Kenya: Curfews, Conflict, and Corruption

    The finale of AFSC’s “Under the Mask” series focuses on Kenya, where a history of police abuse and election violence have left a country with a great deal of disunity. As the international community continues to grapple with COVID-19, countries like Kenya are exploiting the pandemic to promote repressive laws—including a Dusk to Dawn curfew—and fueling fragmentation and corruption. Journalists Bilal Qureshi and Marisa Mazria Katz talk with AFSC’s Kerri Kennedy, Kennedy Akolo, and Pauline Kamau as well as journalist Michael Kaloki about the political environment in Kenya today and the potential for change. Brought to you by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization working for peace and justice in communities around the globe.

    Making Migration Even Harder: The Pandemic’s effect in Mexico and Central America

    How has the pandemic affected people migrating for a more promising future? While policies from Mexico and the United States complicate their situation and put an increasing number of people in grave danger, many are working to build movements that recognize the humanity of people often rendered faceless and left in harms’ way. Journalists Bilal Qureshi and Marisa Mazria Katz talk with Luis Paiz Bekker, Kerri Kennedy, and Douglas from the American Friends Service Committee as well as Mexico City-based journalist Maya Averbuch to share a rich story about building movements to overcome challenges of inequity, migration, and the effects of the global pandemic in the region. Brought to you by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization working for peace and justice in communities around the globe.
