The Supreme Court: Political Tool or Arbiter of Justice? Featuring Dr. Nicole Nguyen
Is the Supreme Court for us or against us? On the fifth episode of Beyond Voting, we dive deep with Dr. Nicole Nguyen, associate professor of criminology, law, & justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She’s also a feminist geographer whose research contributes to, and draws on, grassroots struggles challenging racialized policing, war and empire, particularly in collaboration with community organizations. We spoke with Nicole about how the Supreme Court is meant to function versus how it actually does, why it’s facing a legitimacy crisis, how some of their recent rulings are already eroding our established rights, and how we as activists can hold the highest court in the land accountable. So tell us, have you considered running for office in a local election? How can you advocate locally for the policies you’d like to see?
