Today we are trying to make sense of the senseless. In the wake of last week’s video release exposing the brutal police killing of Tyre Nichols, we are going to talk with retired LAPD Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey, and author of the book, “Black and Blue, The Creation of a Social Advocate.” Sgt. Dorsey will help us get a better understanding of the culture of policing in America, and what needs to change so that police truly serve all the people they are sworn to protect.

Black and Blue with Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey

Today we are mourning the loss of more Americans due to gun violence. The shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, CA are utterly heartbreaking and are especially devastating to the AAPI community that is already coping with a rise in violence. We talk about how you can best support these grieving communities. Then Steve has a conversation with his very own Congressman, Tony Cardenas. They talk about how we can still move forward in the midst of a congress controlled by MAGA republicans that want to tear it all down.

What Gave Us Hope

As we near the end of this wild year we are celebrating some incredible milestones. Biden has signed the Respect for Marriage Act, Karen Bass is sworn in as the first woman Mayor of Los Angeles, and Elon Musk is booed off the stage in San Francisco. It’s been a good week! We still have a lot to do and one of the most pressing issues of our time is the epidemic of gun violence in America. To talk about the work we’ve done and what we can still do together is the founder of “Moms Demand Action”, Shannon Watts!

Representation Matters with Shannon Watts

Today we are celebrating the huge win out of Georgia in the Senate Runoff! Thanks to the work of organizers, a great candidate in Rev. Warnock, and the perseverance of Georgia voters, Democrats will go into 2023 with a larger Senate majority than we have had in the last 2 years, 51-49. And we still have a little bit of time left in Congress’ hopefully, not-so-lame duck session, so joining us to talk about our legislative opportunities and how we make the most of them, is co-founder and co-director of Indivisible, Leah Greenberg!

How We Won (Again) with Scott Dworkin

Voting in the midterms is over and we are still standing! While we still don’t know all the results, and control over the House and Senate hangs on a few outstanding races, this election was a clear repudiation of the MAGA republicans. To help put it all into perspective, we hear from someone who is the definition of persistence, organizing icon Heather Booth.
