To Vote or Not to Vote? Featuring Feminista Jones
Are you voting between a rock and a hard place? On this first episode of Beyond Voting, we get real about voting our values with Dr. Michelle Taylor, also known as Feminista Jones- the award-winning author of Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets. We spoke with her after the 2024 Democratic National Convention and took a critical look at where we find ourselves with Vice President Harris, our new Democratic nominee. She shared her thoughts on voting as harm reduction, the importance of developing a political consciousness, and the realities of holding elected officials accountable. Let us know how you feel about voting in this year’s presidential election? What are your top concerns and how do you plan to make your voice heard?
