Democracy: The Illusion of Choice. Featuring Dr. Melina Abdullah and Madiba Denning
Do not despair, we have the power to organize, build supportive communities, and challenge harmful policies. In our special post election edition episode on Beyond Voting. We’re joined by two special guests, Madiba Dennie and Dr. Melina Abdullah. We did a legal lightning round with Madiba Dennie, Deputy Editor of BallsandStrikes.org, to explore how we got here and understand the legal challenges and issues that had such a profound effect on our elections across the country. We also spoke with 2024 VP Candidate, Dr. Melina Abdullah about her experience on the campaign trail with the Justice for All Party, we get her take on the outcome of the election, and learn what activists can do to further resist the deterioration of our rights. So tell us, how will you embrace these next four years? Will you organize and be a part of the electoral strategy? Tell us on IG @arcus.center or drop it in your 5 star review of the show.
